Employees have Weingarten rights only during investigatory interviews:

An investigatory interview occurs when a supervisor questions an employee to obtain information which could be used as a basis for discipline or asks an employee to defend his/her conduct. If an employee has reasonable belief that discipline may result from what he/she says, the employee has the right to request union representation. Management is not required to inform the employee of his/her Weingarten rights, it is the employees responsibility to know and request.

When the employee makes the requet for a union representative to be present, management has three options: It can stop the questioning until the representative arrives, call the interview off, or tell the employee that it will call off the interview unless the employee voluntarily gives up his/her rights to a representative (an option the employee should always refuse).

You have the right to have Union representation available in all disciplinary discussions with management. If called to a meeting with management, read the following statement: If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, or affect my personal working conditions, I request that my Union Representative, Officer or Shop Steward be present at this meeting. Without representation, I choose not to answer ant questions.
