Employers And Union Issues
At Moody & Stanford, P.C., our firm routinely represents the interests of employers who work with a unionized workforce. Organized labor plays a critical role in many companies and industries, and our attorneys provide strategic legal advice to ensure that the union contributes to the well-being of the company rather than deteriorate it.
Skilled Representation Regarding Employers And Union Issues
Our lawyers assist in the negotiation of contracts and the resolutions of grievances as well as any other legal interaction with the union. This includes:
- Arbitration with the union
- Appearances before the National Labor Relations Board
- Negotiation and administration of contracts and union agreements
- Dealing with a specific unionized employee through the union
- Disputes and grievances against the union
- Strikes, boycotts and lockouts
- Pension claims

If employees at your company are beginning to organize a union campaign and explore the possibility of unionize, we offer skilled guidance in how you as a business owner should proceed. It is important that you are represented by a knowledgeable firm, experienced in dealing with these issues. We will help you devise a strategy as well as contingencies for any outcome. Do not threaten to fire or discipline those looking to unionize, but rather focus on preparing yourself for their demands.
In most cases, serious union interest will result in a campaign and election. Through this process, we will advise you as to what you are allowed to do, including handling information and union materials. Employers are greatly restricted during this time, and we can help you avoid any costly violations.
Throughout your interactions with the union, we are available to protect your interests and guide you through each process in a strategic manner.
