Questions Richard has answered
Frequently asked
Know your rights
Weingarten rights
You have the right to union representation during any investigatory interview that could lead to discipline. Say clearly: "I request union representation before this interview begins." Management must stop and wait.
Discipline and evidence
Any write-up should cite a specific rule and be backed by evidence. If yours does not, that is grounds for a grievance. Do not sign anything before speaking with your steward.
Grievance process
You have the right to file a grievance if you believe the contract has been violated. Contact your steward immediately — there are time limits. Do not wait.
Unauthorized surveillance
Management cannot use covert photo or video evidence gathered through unauthorized means as the basis for discipline without challenge. Report it to your steward immediately.
Positive discipline program
GCRTA operates under a positive discipline program. Management must follow all steps before escalating. If steps were skipped, that is a grievable offense.
Your right to a steward
You have the right to speak with your union steward before responding to management in any disciplinary situation. Exercise that right — it exists to protect you.
