Well, have you ever heard about Weingarten? In the viral video, Ryan Stygar explained it to his followers.
He said that if you take part in a union, your Weingarten could help you don't get fired.
He explained: “You gotta memorize this script because if you know when to use it, it can stop you from getting fired, and if you do get fired anyway after you say the script, you can legally nullify that termination.”
He said that if you are called to a meeting where you could face discipline or termination, you have the right to have your union representative present. This is called Weingarten rights.
Stygar offered his advice for situations when you were called to the meeting. He stated, “You say, ‘If this meeting may result in me being terminated or disciplined, I request to have my union representative present, and I will not engage in this process until I have adequate time to meet with them.'”
According to Stygar, it is crucial to bring up this point because management and HR are not obligated to inform you about Weingarten.
Below the video, several people expressed shock at his revelation, stating that they weren't aware of their Weingarten rights while at work. Another person left an incredulous comment.
One person said: As a supervisor of union employees, this is 100% fact; never sit down with management without your rep or boss.
A second wrote: We print laminated business cards with the Weingarten rights on them and hand them out to every member.
While a third commented, This is exactly why I always ask for my union rep to be present for any conversation with a supervisor or, especially, management.
Someone else said: When I was in the union, I kept the Weingarten script in my wallet. They were passed out by our reps when they visited.
