This rule states that the employee is liable to no punishments for making such a request. Secondly, after the employee makes a request, the supervisor is confronted with three options. The first option is to grant the request and have the interview delayed until the arrival of the Union representative, in which the union representative is allowed to conduct a private consultation with the employee. The second one is to deny the request and have the interview terminated immediately. The third request is to allow the employee to make a choice between having the interview ended and having the interview with no representation. Finally,
