| WEINGARTEN RIGHTS |
| The term "Weingartem Rights" refers to a U.S. Supreme Court decision (420 US 251, 1974) ruled that an employee has the right to a union representative in any interview the employer might hold that is intended to investigate a possible discipline charge against the employee. Often compared to the Miranda rights of criminal suspects charged by the police, there is a crucial difference: unless the union contract requires it, the employer does not have to tell the suspected employee that he or she has the right to union representation. The employee must ask for the representation! Weingarten& JustCauseGuidelines |

After sending for the employee, you receive an e-mail from her, stating that she will only attend the meeting if she can bring a co-worker with her. You know this co-worker to also be an outspoken critic of the company and a habitual complainer. Do you honor the request? EmployerAlert |
