Turn a Disciplinary Meeting into an Organizing Opportunity

from The Labor Notes Podcast · host Labor Notes

Union members have Weingarten rights, stemming from a Supreme Court ruling in 1975, to ask for a steward at any meeting they believe could lead to discipline.

Labor Notes Organizer Kari Thompson, who leads some of our Stewards’ Workshops, joins the pod.
