Weingarten

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 consent to any searches or tests affecting my person, property, or effects, without first consulting with my union representitive.


Stewards: Inform co-workers of their Weingarten "right" and suggest use of this statement when they reasonably believe an interview or questioning by management could lead to discipline or discharge. Remind workers they have to exercise this "right" as management has no obligation to inform them of their rights in this respect.
