As a unionized employee, Clark has the right to have a union representative present during any disciplinary meeting. This is known as the "Weingarten right." It is important for Clark to exercise this right to ensure that his rights are protected and that any disciplinary action taken against him is fair and just. Choosing option B, insisting on a union representative, is the best course of action for Clark to take in this situation.
