Representing Management in Labor Arbitrations

Our firm recognizes that the relationship between an organization’s management and the union can be delicate, which is why we aim to implement strategies to preserve and support a lasting bond that’s built on mutual trust. We adopt a holistic approach to handling labor disputes to ensure that we can provide measured, informed guidance that’s customized to accommodate the unique perspective of each client we serve. Unlike larger law firms that offer a wide range of legal services across multiple practice areas, Campbell Durrant, P.C., exclusively focuses on employment and labor law. These types of cases are all we do—so you can trust that we have the skills and time-tested expertise to help you achieve your desired outcome.

Grievances divert employer and employee attention away from business as usual. Instead of focusing on running the organization smoothly and efficiently, the workplace becomes consumed with this dispute, causing productivity to plummet. The dedicated legal team at Campbell Durrant, P.C., understands that grievance matters must be addressed quickly and strategically to minimize the duration and degree of disruption to the organization as a whole. Over the years, we have helped our clients (many of whom are public sector and governmental entities) negotiate processes and procedures into collective bargaining agreements that have substantially reduced the number of arbitrations. However, if a grievance cannot be resolved, our attorneys aggressively defend our clients at every step of the labor arbitration process. Whether your organization is struggling with a grievance arbitration involving contract interpretation, demotion, disability, discrimination, harassment, layoff, medical leave, pension, suspension, termination, wages, or another related matter, you can trust that we will advocate for your best interests and help you pursue the most appropriate and efficient path to secure your desired outcome.

We recognize that employers can struggle with the complications of the collective bargaining process, especially as these matters typically require substantial time, energy, and resources. Campbell Durrant, P.C., has a proven track record of helping clients navigate through difficult rounds of collective bargaining and labor arbitrations (both grievance and interest arbitration matters) while minimizing work stoppages and keeping the negotiations productive. We believe in working collaboratively with employers as we draft proposals that protect their best interests and preserve workplace relationships. When the collective bargaining process does not yield an agreement between the parties, our attorneys have the knowledge and expertise to represent management throughout the interest arbitration process. We’re committed to exploring all possible options to determine the most effective and practical solution that supports and sustains a cohesive workplace environment.
