Do I have the right to a steward in a disciplinary meeting?

Yes. Under Weingarten and Article 4, you have the right to a steward in any meeting that could lead to discipline.

Under federal law (Weingarten v. NLRB) and Article 4 of the UPS National Master Agreement, you have the right to a Teamster steward present in any meeting that could reasonably lead to discipline. You must request the steward — the company isn't required to offer one — but once you ask, they must stop the meeting until a steward is present or end it entirely.

If you're called into the manager's office and the conversation feels like it's heading toward discipline, the right call is: "I'd like a steward before answering any more questions."
