Labor and Employment
Our human resources attorneys have decades of railway labor experience and possess an institutional understanding of the industry and its unique set of employment concerns. Our Human Resources practice area focuses on the representation of railroads in all aspects of labor and employment law, including union-management relations under both the National Labor Relations Act and the Railway Labor Act.
We also defend employers in federal and state courts throughout the United States against labor and employment suits, including wrongful dismissal, age, race, disability, national origin and sex discrimination. We know the terminology of the industry; the unique work schedules and pay structure of train and engine service employees; and the grievance and arbitration process that so often occurs concurrently with the litigation of employment disputes.
