One of the most difficult situations faced by
employers is a union organizing drive. If there is one area
which involves highly charged emotions and feelings, this
is it. Unfortunately, many of the ideas initially raised by
employers are not only inappropriate, but also potentially
illegal. Therefore, it is important to secure sound legal
counseling the minute any issue arises in order to avoid serious
mistakes. The main purpose is to ensure that, if there is
an NLRB secret ballot election, the employer has a competent
and experienced team of attorneys and experts who will assist
in winning the election, and, when the election is successful,
assist in avoiding as much time-consuming and expensive litigation
as possible.
The attorneys in our Firm have
been involved in hundreds of NLRB elections. While it would
sound wonderful to say that we have won all elections, it
would not be accurate. However, we have a tremendously high
success rate, which comes directly from years of experience.
The Firm is prepared to work directly with the employer
or with consultants whom the employer might hire to assist
with the election.
At the outset, our goal is to have the union petition
either withdrawn or dismissed. If this cannot be accomplished,
then we will assist the employer through the entire election,
including representation in hearings before the NLRB and
in reviewing legal strategies with the employer.
