For employees who belong to a union or work in a job category made up of union members, the workplace will be governed by a union contract (generally known as a Collective Bargaining Agreement). This contract usually regulates wages, work schedules, job duties, benefits, and other employment issues such as wrongful termination.

Many union contracts greatly benefit workers. However, unions sometimes fail to enforce the Collective Bargaining Agreement on behalf of their members, or they may discriminate against individual members. If you are experiencing union issues or are involved in a union-related dispute, you may also wish to contact the National Labor Relations Board. This Federal agency administers the National Labor Relations Act, the principle law governing relations between private-sector employers and unions.

Do I Need to Hire a Labor Union Dispute Attorney?

Hiring an experienced Labor Union dispute attorney is the best thing to do once you’ve gathered your evidence and collected your thoughts. A good Labor Union attorney understands the intricacies and challenges of Employment Law and workers’ rights, and they can help you hold your employer accountable and advocate for a positive outcome.

When you hire a Labor Issue attorney to review your case, they’ll look at every aspect and determine which laws are being broken. Hiring an attorney can help your coworkers as well — if a company is violating the rights of one employee, they’re most likely violating the rights of many others, too.
