Your Rights

Weingarten Rights

Your rights and working conditions are defined in your contract, a copy of which can be found in the "Members Only" section of the "Resources" tab of this website.

If you have any questions or concerns about your contract, please contact the Professional Rights & Responsibilities (PR&R) chair for your Unit (or your building rep if an emergency) .

This is your right to have union representation with you at any meeting with an administrator at which you have a reasonable expectation that discipline of any nature or dismissal could result. 
​If you have been told that the meeting could result in a disciplinary action, or have reason to believe it could, then respectfully request that a union representative be present.  This is a right that you must assert in order to exercise; the administrator is not required to inform you of it.  If you are denied union representation and choose to respond to questions asked, then be as brief as possible and do not elaborate.  If you choose not to answer, then you may be charged with insubordination.  If you were denied union representation, then that fact would be used in any future defense.
