LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT PRACTICE

The attorneys at LATSHA DAVIS YOHE & MCKENNA, P.C., are committed to providing responsive service and accurate legal advice in the area of labor and employment law. We represent clients on a broad range of labor and employment law issues. We are experienced in handling union organizing campaigns, elections, labor arbitrations, mediations and other matters under the National Labor Relations Act. Our representation of clients involves the various aspects of collective bargaining. Clients who have issues with respect to potential union relationships are counseled on union avoidance, where our Firm handles all phases of administrative or civil litigation which may arise from organizing efforts and unfair labor practices charges. For companies who have union representation, we assist in the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements, handle arbitrations and unfair labor practices charges, as well as provide advice on the continuing relationship with unions and unionized employees.

We regularly represent clients on matters arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act, Equal Employment Opportunity regulations, and the multitude of other federal, state, and local laws governing the employment relationship. We have defended employers accused of violating these laws before numerous state and federal agencies and courts.

We take pride in our diversified labor and employment law practice and in our ability to provide quality advice to our clients in the areas of employee benefits and occupational safety and health, as well as immigration and nationality law. We are experienced in the area of employee benefits law. We are capable of addressing ERISA and COBRA compliance issues, and can assist in the development of retirement plans, bonus plans, salary structures, employment agreements, deferred compensation plans and other benefits.

Finally, we recognize that any employment or labor matter requires litigation to be an integral part of representation. Our litigation experience encompasses virtually any type of employment-related lawsuit. Although our efforts are primarily directed to litigation avoidance, when litigation occurs, we are prepared to achieve the best possible result for our clients.
