A supervisory investigative questioning with the possibility of disciplinary action constitutes what?

• A. Informal counseling
• B. Weingarten meeting
• C. Administrative review
• D. Performance counseling

Answer: (B)

Weingarten rights come into play when a supervisor conducts an investigative interview that could lead to disciplinary action, and the employee is part of a union. In that situation, the meeting is a Weingarten meeting. The employee may request a union representative be present, and the employer must inform the employee that the interview is investigatory and could result in discipline. If a union rep is requested, the interview typically cannot proceed without allowing that representative.

This makes it the best fit because the scenario explicitly describes supervisory questioning that could lead to disciplinary action and the potential presence of a representative, which defines a Weingarten meeting. The other options describe less formal or different processes (informal counseling, administrative review, performance counseling) and do not capture the rights and formal setup that accompany a disciplinary-investigatory interview.
