Your Right to Representation
Whenever you are asked to come to your manager’s office for a discussion, you have the contractual right to Union representation.
While any AFA member in good standing can be a peer witness, in cases involving potential discipline, AFA recommends that you contact your local leaders to schedule a trained grievance representative who will accompany you. It is imperative that you monitor your HI10M for any disciplinary codes that could contractually be converted to non-issues. It is your responsibility to ensure this is done within the contractual time-lines. (LR-MA-UA-PG)
You have this right even while on probation.
You can find more information about your right to representation in these sections of our contract:
The AFA Pin - Wear It!
The AFA pin is a symbol of our solidarity, unity and years of sacrifice and collective bargaining achievements. Management notices this simple statement. You should always wear your AFA pin and carry a few extra with you. Compliment members who are wearing theirs and pin those who aren't.
