Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining

Although the percentage of employees represented by labor unions has dropped in recent years, the Pacific Northwest is still one of the hottest parts of the country for union activity. Certain industries, such as healthcare and transportation, are still heavily unionized. Many unions are becoming more aggressive and creative in both their organizing techniques and their approach to representing their members. Whether you have a union in place or are seeking to avoid unionization, experienced labor law advice is critical.
