WEINGARTEN RULES
I believe this discussion could lead to my being disciplined.
I therefore request that my Union Representative or Officer
be present to assist me at the meeting. I further request reasonable
time to consult with my Union Representative regarding the subject
and purpose of the meeting. Please consider this a continuing request;
Without representation, I shall not participate in the discussion.
I shall not consent to any searches or tests affecting my person,
property, or effects, without first consulting with my Union representative.
The Rules
Under the Supreme Court's Weingarten decision, when an
investigatory interview occurs, the following rules apply:
RULE 1:
The employee must make a clear request for union representation before
or during the interview. The employee cannot be punished for making this
request.
RULE 2:
After the employee makes the request, the employer must choose from
among three options. The Employer must either:
Grant the request and delay questioning until the union
representative arrives and has a chance to consult privately with
the employee; or Deny the request and end the interview immediately; or
Give the employee a choice of (1) having the interview without
representation or (2) ending the interview.
RULE 3:
If the employer denies the request for union representation, and continues
to ask questions, it commits an unfair labor practice and the employee
has a right to refuse to answer. The employer may not discipline the
employee for such a refusal.
