Weingarten Rights -Union Members only Representation

OUR RIGHTS ON THE JOB.

Everyone wants smooth working relationships, but problems arise in every workplace. As LEA Professional Association members, we have the right to union protection and representation. This right is guaranteed by our contract. WHEN PROBLEMS ARISE, TALK TO YOUR PROFESSIONAL/PARAPROFESSIONAL PRESIDENT OR VICE PRESIDENT. If you think your rights have been violated or if you have questions about work, speak to US. WE are our on-the-job union representatives there to answer questions and hear concerns.

WEINGARTEN RIGHTS AND THE RIGHT TO REPRESENTATION One of the most important rights that workers have as a member of a union is called Weingarten Rights. These rights state that if you are brought into a disciplinary or investigatory meeting or interview, you have the right to have a representative from the union present. If you are called into a meeting, please ask if this could lead to discipline. Management must answer you truthfully if you ask. Below is a statement that you should remember to protect your rights on the job:

If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, or affect my personal working conditions, I respectfully request that my union representative be present at this meeting. Until my representative arrives, I choose not to participate in this discussion.

You do not need to answer questions or make statements until a union representative is present. You have a right to stop a meeting if you feel that is may lead to discipline and request a union representative. If a union representative is not available, you can offer to reschedule for when one can be present.

AFT PLUS is the name of the member benefit programs available to AFT members and their families. Many of the programs are provided through Union Privilege, the benefit arm of the AFL-CIO; others are unique to AFT and are coordinated directly through AFT PLUS. Explore the site and learn more about the savings and services available to you as a union member.
