Weingarten Rights:

Employees have the right to union representation during an investigatory interview if they reasonably believe that they may be the subject of disciplinary action as a result of their responses. Prior to the interview, the employee should be informed of the general nature of the matter being investigated and may request to consult with their representative, if any.

If the representative that an employee requests is unavailable, the employee may request alternate representation. The CSU is not obliged to postpone the interview, nor to suggest or secure another representative; however, the employee shall not be required to answer any questions without a representative present, unless they voluntarily choose to do so. At its discretion, the CSU may decline to hold any interview if the employee requests representation.

Weingarten rights do not apply to discussions relating to performance meetings in which information is provided to the employee, or where discipline is announced without further discussion.
