Forward-Thinking Legal Guidance: Labor Negotiations
Our legal team wields seasoned expertise in negotiating and deciphering collective bargaining agreements, as both EERA and HEERA dictate. Our team is adept at dealing with both certificated/academic and classified employee unions and handles negotiations at many bargaining tables in California. We work hard to agree, but when a consensus is impossible, or the union files unfair labor practice charges, we aggressively represent clients at PERB. Beyond negotiations, we offer invaluable counsel on the multifaceted labor relations landscape between management and staff. Our purview encompasses the entirety of labor disputes, spanning from the practical details of contract administration—including grievance and arbitration strategies—to deftly navigating the nuanced terrain of PERB proceedings, which encompasses representation cases, unfair practice disputes, and impasse determinations, among other critical matters. It is an integrated approach honed through years of hands-on experience.
