An employee is called to his supervisor's office, believing that he will be disciplined. Accordingly, he requests that his union steward be present for the meeting. His supervisor denies the request, violating which of the following employee rights?

Statutory
Due process
Weingarten
Privacy

The correct answer is: Weingarten

The correct answer is C. The employee's supervisor violated their Weingarten rights by denying their request for a union steward to be present during the meeting. Statutory rights refer to laws that are passed by the government and apply to all individuals, not just employees. Due process refers to the fair treatment of an individual regarding legal proceedings. Privacy rights refer to an individual's right to keep personal information private. In this situation, the employee's right to have a union representative present, as outlined in the Weingarten rights, was violated.
