Traditional Labor
Our traditional labor expertise encompasses all aspects of labor-management relations.
Our attorneys assist clients during all stages of the collective bargaining process. We assist clients in determining negotiation objectives and strategies, serve as chief negotiators, prepare bargaining proposals and analyze union proposals. We do so with an eye towards achieving the flexibility necessary for clients to remain competitive in the marketplace.
Our attorneys represent clients during the grievance and arbitration process. Our experience extends to both grievance and interest arbitration. Drawing on our experience, we can also provide assistance in the important process of arbitrator selection.
We protect the interests of our clients by helping them prepare for and respond to strikes, picketing, slowdowns and the other economic weapons utilized by labor.
We counsel clients on the avoidance of unfair labor practice charges under the National Labor Relations Act and similar state statutes. We also represent employers in claims brought against them before the National Labor Relations Board or similar state agencies.
