Employee Rights to Representation Clause Samples

The Employee Rights to Representation clause establishes an employee's entitlement to have a representative, such as a union official or colleague, present during certain workplace meetings or disciplinary proceedings. In practice, this means that if an employee is called to a meeting that could result in disciplinary action or affect their employment status, they may request and be accompanied by a representative to support and advise them. This clause ensures that employees are not left to navigate potentially complex or intimidating situations alone, promoting fairness and transparency in workplace processes.

B. If the Association finds that a grievance affects a group of employees or the Association, the Association may submit such grievance in writing to the Superintendent directly and will begin at Step 2. Class grievances involving more than one supervisor and grievances involving an administrator above the building level may be filed by the Association at Step II.
