Labor & Employment
Labor and Employment Law controls how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. Employment law encompasses a wide variety of issues like Pension Plans, Retirement, Occupational Safety & Health Regulations, Affirmative Action, Discrimination in the Workplace and Sexual Harassment. Employment Attorneys can show businesses how to reduce their risk of employment litigation and how to comply with state and local laws. They can also help protect workers when their rights are being violated.
Labor laws were designed to equalize the bargaining power between employers and employees-prohibiting employers and unions from engaging in specified "unfair labor practices" and establishing an obligation of both parties to engage in good faith collective bargaining. Labor Attorneys mainly deal with relationships between employers and unions. Labor laws grant employees the right to unionize and allow employers and employees to engage in certain activities (e.g., strikes, picketing, seeking injunctions, lockouts) for the purpose of getting their demands fulfilled.
