We have developed substantial experience in, and skill at, preparing for and negotiating both initial and renewal collective bargaining agreements. We have negotiated on behalf of management in various industries, including health care, paper and pulp, small product manufacturing, social services, and building services and maintenance. The integrity and the strategic thinking that we have brought to these negotiations have been instrumental in repeatedly achieving our clients’ bargaining objectives.

Labor organizations with whom we have negotiated include:

• Communications Workers of America;
  
• International Brotherhood of Teamsters;
  
• 1199, National Health and Human Service Employees Union;
  
• New York State Nurses Association;
  
• Service Employees International Union, AFL-CIO;
  
• United Paperworkers International Union; and
  
• International Association of Machinists.
  

Additionally, we have experience in assisting clients in preparing for and responding to work stoppages, including formulating strike plans, seeking injunctive relief in response to strike misconduct, responding to defamatory and misleading communications during a strike, and other related issues.
