Description
This appeal by allowance concerns the contours of an employees Weingarten right under the Pennsylvania Public Employe Relations Act (PERA), that is, the right to be accompanied by a union representative during an interview in which the employee reasonably fears that discipline may be imposed by the employer. Specifically, we are asked to consider whether a public employee has the right to be accompanied by a union representative of his or her choosing during such an investigatory interview. For the reasons that follow, we conclude that the right of accompaniment during an investigatory interview includes the employees choice of union representative - when the union representative is reasonably available and there are no extenuating circumstances. Thus, for the reasons stated herein, we reverse the order of the Commonwealth Court.
