STRICKLER Jr. Philadelphia Office of the National Labor Relations Board In 1978, Walter Slaughter filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board, asserting that his discharge by the E.I. DuPont Company for insisting on the presence of a co-worker at an investigatory interview violated the National Labor Relations Act. Slaughter's case was one of a series of cases, culminating in the Epilepsy Foundation case discussed in the previous article, that has established the right of a non-union employee to choose to have a co-worker present at an interview that could result in discipline. I was counsel for the General Counsel of the NLRB in the DuPont case and this article is my view of the history of that case and the legal issue it raised.
