Given a written warning at work?
-
So my boss today said he had some things he wanted to address. I won't go into the whole story of what it was, which was absolutely petty by the way, I'll just get to the main part. So at this meeting, on the table there is a typed document with a lines at the bottom for both out signatures, and the issue being addressed are on the document. BUT, My boss says it's not an actual written warning, he just wants me to sign it to acknowledge that we had the discussion. I did not agree with what was written and it seemed like a written warning to me, so I didn't sign it. I also am a union member and we are not supposed to be presented with a written warning without being asked if we want union representation present. My boss is a dick, and I feel like he was sneakily trying to get me to sign a written warning. I mean does what I described sound like a written warning or what?

Answer:
Call your stuart at the meeting and refuse to attend if he is not present. Do not sign anything. Next time - if you can - get a recorder and tape the conversation, openly, for the record. No one will say you did something illegal. Make notes. Read and KNOW the union contract you are bind by. They are trying to get rid of you. Be alert.

It's hard to tell without knowing what your job is or exactly what you did wrong. You said you wouldn't go into the whole story, but you didn't go into the story at all, so we have no basis to know whether you were deserving of one. I will say from personal experience: I once was given a written warning when I worked at blockbuster. It was basically a lazy man's way of giving you a verbal warning and struck me as a sort of thing they do at overly buearacratic or low-level jobs to keep things moving along. If he gave you a written warning it sounds like he doesn't personally care much about it and is just doing it to satisfy HR or some rule in a book.
Whatever it was you got it. He doesn't have to have your signature. He just notes on the paper you were notified and declined to sign. Happens all the time. Also, he doesn't have to have a union representative there. You have to ask for it. It's called "Weingarten Rights"
