Labor arbitrations, including discharge and contract interpretation cases

Our Approach

Our attorneys have represented management in some of the toughest labor disputes and negotiations.

We've appeared before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in Section 10(j) injunctions. We've litigated in state and federal court injunction proceedings related to mass picketing and strikes. We regularly represent clients before the NLRB with respect to unfair labor practice charges and union election proceedings. And we routinely advise clients on collective bargaining issues, union avoidance, contract administration, and mergers and acquisitions transactions.
