## What Union & Labor Disputes employment law attorneys help with

### What Are Union & Labor Disputes?

Union and labor disputes involve disagreements between workers, unions, and employers over bargaining, contract enforcement, and labor practices. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and state laws govern many of these conflicts.

- Collective bargaining negotiations and impasses
- Unfair labor practice charges
- Strike planning and lockouts
- Duty of fair representation disputes

### Common Union Dispute Issues

- Employers interfering with organizing efforts
- Disagreements over contract interpretation
- Retaliation against union supporters
- Internal union governance conflicts

### How Labor Lawyers Help

Labor attorneys represent unions, employees, and sometimes employers in bargaining, arbitration, and proceedings before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

- Negotiating collective bargaining agreements
- Filing or defending unfair labor practice charges
- Guiding strike or lockout strategies
- Arbitrating grievances under union contracts

### When Should You Hire a Labor Lawyer?

Seek legal help when union activities escalate, when unfair labor practices arise, or when complex contract issues threaten operations or worker rights.

- Collective bargaining has stalled or broken down
- You suspect employer retaliation for union support
- Grievances routinely go unresolved
