Should you be required to meet with an Administrator and feel that the meeting may be investigative or accusatory in nature, it is your right to have an Association Representative present. Upon notification, you should ask only for the date, time, place and specific purpose of the meeting. You should ask no other questions and answer NO questions. You should then immediately contact a member of the Committee to arrange for representation at the required meeting. If an Administrator shows up unannounced at your work site and you find yourself in a meeting that turns accusatory, you can invoke your Weingarten Rights by saying: "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 Association representative be present at the meeting. Without representation, I choose not to answer any questions." If you are unable to stop the meeting for any reason, discontinue participation. Take notes and do not respond or react. Upon conclusion of the meeting, contact an Association Representative immediately. |
In summary: - Do not discuss the issues with an Administrator or attempt to resolve a situation on your own - Take notes - Do not make spontaneous replies to charges - Accept no proposals or offers without first consulting your Association - Make no public statements regarding the matter - Contact an Association Representative |
