You're at work and you get an email, or there's a note on your desk, or your supervisor stops you in the hall and says something like, "Could I see you in my office for a moment? There's something I'd like to discuss with you." You're wondering, am I in trouble? Maybe somebody didn't like that thing I did the other day? Or, no problem. Probably just wants to give me some more work, or maybe even a pat on the back! You're not sure, and you think it might not be good. What are your rights?

The Employee Rights Committee is a Standing Committee established in the Constitution & ByLaws and charged with defending the rights of all Bargaining Unit members as established in the Negotiated Agreement.

Committee members have various levels of training. Committee members with sufficient training to represent members in grievance procedures are designated as Advocates. The committee also has at its disposal paid highly skilled and trained professionals provided by NEA-Alaska and has access to all the resources of the National Education Association, the nation's largest labor union.
