Labor Relations
Our firm's labor practice originated with the representation of many of Connecticut's major manufacturers in union organizing campaigns and collective bargaining more than fifty years ago. We still work with many unionized employers, and assist in the negotiation of dozens of collective bargaining agreements each year. While the decline of manufacturing in the northeast has reduced the number of bargaining units in the industrial sector of our economy, the rise of unionization in the service sector has more than made up the difference.
In addition, since the passage of legislation in the 1960s authorizing collective bargaining by state and local government employees in Connecticut, we have developed what is widely regarded as the premier public sector labor relations practice in the state. Our representation of local and regional public school districts is so extensive that we have created a school law practice group to focus on those clients.
Our services to employers facing union-related issues involve matters such as:
• Union organizing campaigns and representation elections
• Collective bargaining and impasse resolution procedures
• Strikes, picketing, and other concerted activity
• Grievance and arbitration procedures
• Defense of unfair labor practice claims
