Union activity puts your management decisions under a legal microscope, and a single misstep by a supervisor can trigger an unfair labor practice charge. We advise employers on the full arc of labor relations, from a first organizing drive through bargaining, grievances, and arbitration, so you respond within the rules and keep control of your workforce strategy.
Responding to Organizing
When a union begins organizing your workforce, what your supervisors say and do becomes evidence. We train your managers on what the NLRA permits and prohibits, help you craft lawful communications to employees, and represent you through petitions and representation elections before the National Labor Relations Board. The goal is a clean, defensible campaign that withstands later scrutiny.
Collective Bargaining
Negotiating a contract is where labor strategy meets your bottom line. We prepare bargaining positions, advise on the duty to bargain in good faith, and help you weigh proposals on wages, benefits, work rules, and management rights. Whether you are bargaining a first agreement or renewing one, we keep your operational flexibility in view at the table.
Grievances and ULP Charges
Contract disputes and board charges are part of life with a union. We handle grievances through the contractual steps and into arbitration, and we defend unfair labor practice charges before the NLRB. We also read the contract language and arbitration decisions back into your day-to-day practices so the same disputes do not keep resurfacing.
