TAs and GAs have a legal right to a union representative at any meeting where you are being questioned by a supervisor/management that could result in any type of disciplinary action. If you believe that a meeting with a supervisor may result in disciplinary action, you must state to them that you want a union representative present at the meeting. Furthermore, our contract protects you from discrimination, unfair disciplinary action, a minimum stipend, and health insurance.
