Specifically, Section 7114 (a) (2) (B) of Title 5, U.S. Code states that an exclusive representative of an appropriate unit in an agency shall be given the opportunity to be represented at any examination of an employee in the unit by a representative of the agency in connection with an investigation if the employee reasonably believes that the examination may result in disciplinary action against the employee; and the employee requests representation
Additionally, employees have the right under 7114 (a) (2) (A) to be represented by the union at any formal discussion between one or more employees in the unit or their representatives concerning any grievance or any personnel policy or practices or other general condition of employment.
