Representation at Interview--Expectation of Discipline--Denial of Union Representative.--By denying an employee’s request to be represented by a union steward during an investigatory interview, an employer interfered with the employee’s right to engage in concerted and protected activity. The employee had reason to believe that disciplinary action would be taken against him and, in fact, it was taken. Therefore, the employer was required to accede to the employee’s request for union representation. Section 8(a)(1).
