Attention all CWA 7214 Members Next union meeting will be May 15, 2008
Its that time of year again. So here is a reminder of a Union benefit many of you may want to use. I saw this on the union plus web site and thought I would share it with all of you this is available to all Union members, so take advantage of it. Ready to get your tax refund? Using this service along with the built-in e-filing means you could get your refund within a couple weeks - and unlike many other tax preparers, there are no high-cost "rapid refund" service fees. With this simple and easy-to-use service, the online tax preparation tool automatically calculates your taxes and helps minimize errors. You can save information and start again later, so you don't have to complete your tax returns all at one time. Year-to-year information is also saved so you can import information from a prior year's return.
Just go to http://www.unionplusrefund.com/ questions ask one of your union stewards.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the National Labor Relations Act gives workers the right to request union representation during investigatory interviews by supervisors, security personnel, and other managerial staff. These are called Weingarten Rights. An investigatory interview occurs if 1) management questions you to obtain information; and 2) you have reasonable apprehension than your answers could be used as a basis for discipline or other adverse action. You must ask for union representation either before or during an investigatory interview. Management does not have to remind you of this right. If your request is refused and management continues asking questions, you may refuse to answer. Your employer is guilty of an unfair labor practice and charges may be filed.
If you are questioned in a situation where

discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or
terminated, or affect my personal working conditions, I
respectfully request that my union representative, officer,
or steward, be present at this meeting. Without
representation present, I choose not to participate in this
discussion.
