Union Governance
Effective union governance forms the cornerstone of enduring success within the labor movement. Amid an era where corporations continue to reap the benefits of deregulation, labor unions remain among the most heavily regulated and scrutinized entities under American law. We offer our expertise to help unions navigate this labyrinthine system of laws and regulations, thereby enabling them to concentrate on their primary goals - organizing and providing representation to their members.
Concerning internal governance, we provide comprehensive assistance to labor organizations in a variety of crucial areas. This includes the drafting and adoption of key governing documents such as constitutions and bylaws. We also guide unions towards compliance with their internal rules and procedures, ensuring that these processes are followed in both letter and spirit.
We are experienced in assisting unions conduct elections and conventions, ensuring they adhere to best practices and regulatory guidelines. Our team has experience in representing a wide range of clients, from incumbents to challengers, in internal union elections, ensuring a fair and transparent process.
Our firm also provides counsel on matters related to international, regional, and local union relations. This includes addressing challenging topics such as internal union discipline, jurisdictional matters, and trusteeships. Our mission is to ensure that our clients are fully equipped to carry out their duties, navigate their challenges, and uphold the rights of their members.
