Description
Gain a better understanding if the employer is supplying the proper union representation during investigated interviews.Many employers with unionized workplaces are confronted several times throughout the year with a common situation, the employer needs to interview a bargaining unit employee about some issue and the employee insists on having a union representative present. The purpose of the interview could be to interview potential misconduct, to investigate a sexual harassment claim, to try to determine a safety lapse, the potential situations and issues are endless. Most human resources managers and labor relations managers often know employees have something called Weingarten rights but often don’t understand when these rights are triggered and, more important, how the rights are applied. Many employers agonize over whether the request for a representative must be granted and worry about the consequences of making the wrong decision. This material helps people responsible for conducting workplace investigations, whether they are human resources and labor relations professionals or operations managers and supervisors, understand and effectively comply with Weingarten rights. The topic discusses how the employer can be confident that it is granting or denying a request for union representation with confidence and how to navigate the most common scenarios that arise during investigatory interviews.
