Employee's Attempt to Secure Union Aid Sufficient Notice of Weingarten Request

So‐called “Weingarten rights,” declared by the Supreme Court more than 40 years ago, continue to trip up employers. In NLRB v. J. Weingarten Inc. , 420 U.S. 251 (1975), the Supreme Court said represented employees are entitled to have union representation in an interview that could lead to discipline. A recent case involves an employee who was a union member.
