Join us on January 28, from 1-2 pm for our HR investigation interview workshop! This free hybrid format nurse-led training is co-led by Tristan Twohig RN from Holy Family and Alle Machorro WSNA Nurse Rep. The goal of this workshop is to equip our nurses if they are ever called to an HR meeting or to support a colleague in their interview. We will have content prepared and a practical demonstration of an investigation meeting. RSVP here if you can attend in person or virtually.

Why would you attend?

Have you ever been asked to meet with HR or your manager?

Have you ever said yes and then left the office crying or surprised at how you were treated?

Have you ever talked with a colleague who had a similar experience?

These meetings are also known as “fact-finding meetings”, “investigatory meetings”, or “investigation interviews”. Nurses are asked to attend these when their Employer is performing an investigation, usually into an allegation of misconduct, performance issues, bullying, drug diversion, patient complaints, and many other reasons.

As union workers, you are entitled to have union representation at interviews that you have reasonable suspicion may lead to discipline or termination- these rights are known as Weingarten Rights. You must invoke these rights, and we want all nurses to know what that looks in real time.
