Is it OK for an employer to tell a Union steward not to talk to the person being accused of something or is that something like jury tampering isn't it? |

That can be considered undermining\interfering with union business
Stewards have the right to investigate and pull the person away from management to get information before discussing with management
It is a labor board charge for undermining the union |

Without using names, can you give us more information about what happened?
Have you read this already?

Employers will often assert that the only role of a union representative in an investigatory interview is to observe the discussion. The Supreme Court, however, clearly acknowledges a representative's right to assist and counsel workers during the interview.
The Supreme Court has also ruled that during an investigatory interview management must inform the union representative of the subject of the interrogation. The representative must also be allowed to speak privately with the employee before the interview. During the questioning, the representative can interrupt to clarify a question or to object to confusing or intimidating tactics.
While the interview is in progress the representative can not tell the employee what to say but he may advise them on how to answer a question. At the end of the interview the union representative can add information to support the employee's case.
On June 15, 2004, The National Labor Relations Board ruled by a 3-2 vote that employees who work in a nonunionized workplace are not entitled under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act to have a coworker accompany them to an interview with their employer, even if the affected employee reasonably believes that the interview might result in discipline.
This decision effectively reversed the July 2000 decision of the Clinton Board that extended Weingarten Rights to nonunion employees. |
