Weingarten rights are important because a member waives the right to a witness if the member does not speak up and expressly request a witness.
The role of stewards in disciplinary meetings is to hear everything that is said, and to ensure that supervisors and managers do not question the member unfairly by, for example, putting words in the member’s mouth or by bullying members into agreeing to things they otherwise would not agree to.
