National Labor Relations Act,
Section 8, (6), (d).
Collective
bargaining is: “The performance of the mutual obligation of the
employer and the representative of the employees to meet at
reasonable times and confer in good faith with respect to wages,
hours, and other terms of employment, or the negotiation of an
agreement, or any question arising there under, and the
execution of a written contract incorporating any agreement
reached if requested by either party, but such obligation does
not compel either party to agree to a proposal or require the
making of a concession…”
Oregon
Law, Section 243, (650), (4).
“Collective Bargaining: means the performance of the mutual
obligation of a public employer and the representatives of its
employees to meet at reasonable times and confer in good faith
with respect to employment relations, or the negotiation of an
agreement, or any question arising there under, and the
execution of a written contract incorporating any agreement
reached if requested by either party. However, this obligation
does not compel either party to agree to a proposal or require
the making of a concession.
Any worker in a unionized
workplace has a Weingarten right. This is the right
to representation in a meeting with management that the worker
reasonably believes could result in discipline. Again, such a
situation happens to very few of our members, but only those
whose workplace is covered by a union contract have this right.
Weingarten Rights
If this
discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or
terminated, or affect my personal working conditions, I
respectfully request that my union representative, officer, or
steward be present at this meeting. Without representation, I
choose not to answer any questions.
