Steward's Corner
Weingarten Rights Statement
"I request to have a union representative present on my behalf during this meeting because I believe it may lead to disciplinary action being taken against me. If I am denied my right to have a union representative present I will refuse to answer accusation questions and any I believe may lead to discipline."
Union Stewards are designated SEIU members who are authorized to advise and represent employees during grievances procedures. According to the 2021–26 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA):
The function of the steward is to represent employees, when requested by them, in grievance procedures outlined in Article 18 - Grievance and Arbitration Procedure, and in investigatory meetings that an employee reasonably believes could result in disciplinary action or other disciplinary meetings as described in Article 17 - Discipline and Discharge, Section 5. A steward may participate in additional matters when, at the discretion of the university chief human resource officer, such participation is deemed to be mutually beneficial.
