Labor Relations
Under the broad umbrella of labor relations,
SNR Denton lawyers negotiate collective bargaining agreements for
companies with union-represented employees, counsel and represent
clients in matters brought under the National Labor Relations Act
(NLRA) and ascertain the advantages and disadvantages of union
avoidance and assist in all union-related matters.
For instance, our lawyers represent clients
before courts and agencies in actions under the Transfer of
Undertakings Protection of Employment (TUPE) Regulations, in
redundancy situations, in unfair labor practice cases, labor
injunctions, injunctions in the High Court to prevent industrial
action from taking place and the full range of arbitration cases
arising under collective bargaining agreements. Additionally, we
handle union representation cases of all types before the NLRA,
including initial representation campaigns, decertification
campaigns, union recognition applications, strike actions,
information and consultation obligations, European Works Councils,
and collective negotiations with union and other employee
representatives.
SNR Denton lawyers possess sophisticated
knowledge about the workings of major national and international
unions worldwide and provide proactive and practical labor
relations counseling. We represent employers in connection
with collective bargaining negotiations, contract administration,
and grievance resolution. Furthermore, our legal
professionals counsel clients regarding their labor contract
compliance obligations and help them to resolve labor grievances
through the arbitration process. We also advise buyers and
sellers in corporate transactions regarding successorship
liability, questions concerning the assumption and restructuring of
collective bargaining agreements, and issues concerning
multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liability.
