Your Weingarten Rights
"Anything you say can and will be used against you..."

WEINGARTEN RIGHTS: YOU NEVER HAVE TO AGREE TO TALK TO MANAGEMENT WITHOUT A UNION REPRESENTATIVE PRESENT.

  • Every Union member has a right to request Union representation in any meeting with management that may result in disciplinary action.

ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS: IF YOU ANSWER YES, ASK FOR REPRESENTATION

  • Could this meeting/interrogation lead to disciplinary action?
  • Could this meeting/interrogation lead to job termination?
DO'S AND DON'TS

  • Do refuse to proceed without Union representation
  • Don't answer any questions without Union representation
  • Do demand Union representation
  • Don't make written or verbal statements of guilt or innocence

REMEMBER, EMPLOYERS ARE GENERALLY PROHIBITED FROM REQUIRING OR REQUESTING ANY EMPLOYEE TO TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST, AND FROM DISCHARGING, DISCIPLINING OR DISCRIMINATING AGAINST AN EMPLOYEE FOR REFUSING TO TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST.

When in doubt, ask your Local 67 Representative.
