Know Your Rights When Meeting with Management

Under your contract and (state/federal) law, you are guaranteed certain rights to union representation. Know them. Use them.

• You have the right to union representation, not a specific union representative, at any meeting with management that could possibly result in disciplinary action against you.
• Whenever you are called to a meeting with management, explicitly ask about the specific nature and purpose of the meeting.
• Before the start of the meeting, or at any time when you believe the meeting is covering areas that might result in discipline against you, you must explicitly ask for union representation.
• Before proceeding with the meeting, confer with your union representative and discuss the matters at issue in the meeting.
• If you have any questions, ask your union representative.
• If management denies your request for union representation, state that you will not participate in the meeting without a union representative present.
