Collective Bargaining & Labor Relations

Our labor relations practice covers all aspects of the relationship between employers, employees, and labor unions throughout California and across the country. We work with employers who have collective bargaining relationships on issues including negotiations, grievance handling, arbitrations, strikes, and other issues in a unionized workplace. We also work with employers who have no union relationship on issues of lawfully remaining union-free. Several of our attorneys formerly practiced at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), providing us with the advantage of an insider’s perspective on the law. In addition to assisting employers in collective bargaining negotiations, the firm represents clients in grievance proceedings culminating in arbitration, as well as unfair labor practice and representation election cases at the NLRB. While our Labor Relations practice has historically covered many industries and businesses large and small, our presence in the construction and shipping/logistics industries are especially groundbreaking.
