The Firm has over 100 combined years of experience
in negotiating collective bargaining agreements with unions
and/or employee associations. This experience includes both
initial agreements, as well as renewal agreements and bargaining
for a single employer and multi-employer bargaining. The process
of negotiations presents employers with many risks and challenges,
as well as many opportunities. Employers often overlook the
fact that negotiations are two-way streets and that much can
be gained from successful negotiations.
Our experience assists employers in many ways. We are experienced in
both counseling employers on the skills of successful negotiations
and in acting as the chief spokesperson in the actual meetings.
Much of our success has been attributed to proper preparation
for the negotiations, and the work must begin long before
the actual meetings start.
