Know Your Weingarten Rights:

You have the right to have Union Representation at any meeting that you reasonably believe may lead to discipline.  Invoke your Weingarten Rights by saying: “If this discussion could in any way be related to me being disciplined or terminated or affect any of my working conditions, I hereby request that my union officer or steward be present.  Without their presence, I choose not to participate in this discussion.  Please do not request that I waive this right.” Immediately contact the Member Resource Center right after.
