Labor laws were designed to equalize the bargaining power between employers and employees- prohibiting employers and unions from engaging in specified “unfair Labor practices” and establishing an obligation of both parties to engage in good faith collective bargaining. Labor laws mainly deal with relationships between employers and unions. Labor laws grant employees the right to unionize and allow employers and employees to engage in certain activities (e.g. strikes, picketing, seeking injunctions, lockouts) for the purpose of getting their demands fulfilled.
Labor Law representation includes:
