Transportation

The transportation industry faces the full range of labor and employment law issues: workplace safety, union avoidance, collective bargaining, NLRB charge defense, charges of discrimination, wage and hour claims and related lawsuits. We anticipate continued challenges from regulatory agencies at the federal, state and local levels, including new Hours of Service rules, changes in pension and insurance funding requirements, compliance concerns under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Homeland Security issues and growing litigation threats. The Teamsters union, which has withdrawn from the AFL-CIO and become a founding member of the “Change to Win Coalition,” has vowed to renew and expand its transportation and warehousing organizing activities. Constangy takes pride in its unmatched depth of experience in all aspects of labor and employment laws affecting transportation industry clients.
