If your program director or department chair is pursuing disciplinary action against you, you may feel as though you have nowhere to turn. However, it is important for you to understand that you have rights. For example, if you are part of a labor union, you have Weingarten rights, which protect employees when they meet with their supervisor during an investigatory interview. This is a conversation that involves a supervisor who questions an employee in an effort to obtain information, and the employee believes that the conversation could result in disciplinary action. However, if the purpose of the meeting is to notify you that a decision for disciplinary action has already been made, this would be considered a disciplinary announcement, rather than an investigatory interview. Your Weingarten Rights are only enforced upon request.
