Labor Relations
Union avoidance campaigns, negotiation and drafting of labor contracts, decertification efforts, arbitrations, defense of unfair labor practice charges, NLRB litigation, pre-election bargaining unit hearings, and all related federal and state-court litigation.
Constangy’s Labor Relations attorneys have come to the firm from positions with the National Labor Relations Board and the United States Department of Labor, or have extensive labor relations experience as private practitioners.
The attorneys on our Labor Relations team know it doesn't always pay to be the proverbial bull in the china shop. Although there are times to be aggressive, there are also times when it may be in your company’s best interests to take a more conciliatory approach. We have the ability to do either – always judiciously, and always as appropriate to the situation.
Our lawyers have a wealth of collective experience in representing management interests aggressively but lawfully.
But we can also help you realistically assess the employee-relations atmosphere in your workplace environment. And we can help you build and foster the kind of workplace environment in which a union is irrelevant.
Our Labor Relations team attorneys have represented employers in a wide variety of industries, including the following:
- Health care
- Manufacturing
- Textile and apparel
- Food and restaurants
- Hotel
- Construction
- Retail
- Utilities
Our Labor Relations team publishes a bimonthly periodical, Executive Labor Summary.
If you need labor relations assistance, please contact Cliff Nelson at cnelson@constangy.com, Steve Schuster at sschuster@constangy.com or any Constangy attorney.
