Manufacturing

The manufacturing industry in the United States has been forced to compete in a globalized economy with other nations whose employment standards fall far short of our own. It is imperative that Constangy’s manufacturing clients, upon whose representation our firm was founded, continue to retain workforce flexibility and yet follow “best practices” in compliance with government-required safety, health and benefit regulations. Our litigators are trained to help manufacturing clients avoid and, when necessary, defend claims of discrimination and wrongful discharge. They can also defend claims brought under ERISA, state and federal wage and hour laws, and selected states’ workers’ compensation laws. Our OSHA and Affirmative Action teams are well equipped to assist with compliance with those complex laws.

The Constangy response to union organizing and bargaining efforts in the manufacturing sector began with the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947. Our labor attorneys have successfully represented employers in representation of cases and collective bargaining ever since. Whether its challenges posed by the “Change to Win” Coalition or other union efforts yet to be seen, Constangy will meet the challenges on clients’ behalf with the same level of expertise and intensity as its done since 1946.
