Couch White labor and employment law attorneys provide counseling and litigation services to management in all types of employment and workplace legal matters.
Our attorneys represent and counsel management regarding employment relations, including collective bargaining, grievance and arbitration matters, unfair labor practice charges and litigation in federal and state courts, as well as before the National Labor Relations Board, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and State Division of Human Rights.
Couch White has succeeded in precedent setting litigation regarding permissible strike coping measures and the permanent replacement of strikers, as well as the defense of claims to "light duty" and leaves of absence as reasonable accommodation measures under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Our attorneys have the in-depth knowledge of labor and employment law that delivers new methods and approaches to solving complex, workplace legal issues. We focus on assisting employers in minimizing the risks of litigation and improving the working environment to reduce or eliminate disputes and employee claims. Strategies and tactics are devised and implemented for union and non-union facilities, as well as double-breasted operations and enterprises undergoing organizational efforts and union "salts."
We also negotiate, draft and revise employer handbooks, manuals, policies, procedures and employment contracts to ensure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations governing the workplace.
