OPINION OF THE COURT
Smith, J.
The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), as interpreted in NLRB v J. Weingarten, Inc. (420 US 251 [1975]), gives to an employee of a firm subject to the NLRA the right to have a union representative present with the employee at an investigatory interview, if the employee reasonably believes that the interview might result in disciplinary action — a so-called “Weingarten right.” We hold today that the Taylor Law does not give a Weingarten right to New York public employees.
