Overview
The Firm has been involved in traditional labor-management relations matters since the enactment of the National Labor Relations Act. We represent unionized employers in all aspects of the collective bargaining process, including preparing, negotiating and drafting collective bargaining agreements.
Our primary objective is always to safeguard management’s budget goals without any disruption of operations. Through our presence at the bargaining table, union-management and grievance meetings, we help resolve employment issues promptly and cost effectively. In this regard, clients have described our negotiators as “remarkable, results oriented relationship builders.”
Where arbitration of a grievance is required, we thoroughly prepare, present and brief the case on behalf of our clients. Before doing so, however, we carefully assess all possible settlement options with an eye toward a favorable, cost-justified resolution.
For those clients who prefer to operate union free, we provide advice and counsel on how best to do so in a legal and practically sound manner.
