The Weingarten case sets precedent for co-employee representation
Article Abstract:
Two recent cases set precedents regarding employee representation by a co-employee during corporate disciplinary investigations. 'National Labor Review Board v. J. Weingarten Inc.' dealt with the issue of representation for union employees and 'NLRB v. Materials Research Corp.' laid down rules for non-union workers. Personnel officers in non-union setting should be aware of the 'Materials Research' mandates and allow a co-worker to be present if an investigatory interview is necessary. Where disciplinary action can be taken without questioning the accused employee, the case is not applicable.

Once a union, not always a union
Article Abstract:
During the last decade, the number of trade-union decertification elections has gone up from 453 in 1973 to 892 during 1982. Also, workers have voted to terminate in 75 percent of the elections. During 1982, the last year for which statistics are available, unions were able to avoid decertification in just 23.5 percent of the elections.
