Understanding Your Union Rights
Weingarten Rights
Established by a 1975 Supreme Court decision, protects union members during interviews with supervisors that may lead to disciplinary actions. You have the right to:
-
Clearly request union representation before or during the interview.
-
Be protected from retaliation by management for requesting representation.
-
Have the questioning delayed until the union representative arrives.
-
Refuse to answer management's questions if your request for a union representative is denied, as this is against federal law.
Weingarten rights are a crucial tool to ensure that you're not alone during challenging workplace situations and that your rights are upheld.

Workplace Safety Rights
At UFCW Local 367, we believe every member deserves the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’ll make it home safely after a day’s work. That’s why our contracts go beyond the minimum standards of the law—building in strong protections that put our members’ health and safety first.
Our union members don’t just benefit from these protections; they help shape them. From serving on safety committees and participating in regular training to confidently reporting hazards without fear of retaliation, members are on the frontlines of creating safer workplaces for everyone.
By standing together and asserting their right to safe working conditions, UFCW 367 members protect not only themselves but their coworkers and communities, ensuring that safety is always a shared priority.
Know Your Contract
Your union contract is more than just a document; it’s your guarantee of fair treatment at work. It spells out your rights, protections, wages, hours, and benefits as a UFCW Local 367 member, ensuring your employer lives up to their commitments.
When you know your contract, you hold the power to enforce it. From fair pay and scheduling to dispute resolution and workplace protections, your contract is the tool that keeps management accountable and safeguards what you’ve fought hard to win.
By understanding its contents, you become an active participant in shaping your workplace and strengthening our union. Knowledge is power, and knowing your contract means knowing your rights.

Your Rights
During Union Organizing
Every worker has the right to come together with coworkers and build a union—free from intimidation, threats, or retaliation. At UFCW Local 367, we make sure you know your rights so you can stand strong and organize with confidence.
Your rights include:
-
Talking with coworkers about unionizing.
-
Attending union meetings and learning more about your options.
-
Sharing union materials on your own time, in non-work areas.
-
Participating in a fair, secret-ballot election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Your employer is not allowed to threaten, spy on, or punish you for supporting a union. These protections are guaranteed by federal law to ensure that the decision to form a union belongs to workers—not management.
Together, we have the power to win fair wages, safer workplaces, and a real voice on the job.
