This "managers getting pissy" situation is where you bring a vote to the union so the next contract requires a union rep present for every conversation between managers and workers unless the worker explicitly waves that right.
I'm wondering if the worker should even be able to waive it. There's room for intimidation tactics there.
Absolutely. Not sure how to balance this, because I can also see a manager abusing the rule by using it as an excuse to dodge a simple, but important conversation because no union rep is available.

That's the reason I left it open.
