Labor

Since its inception, Weintraub Stock has come to the aid of employers
faced with union organizing. While organized labor has suffered
setbacks in recent years, unions have refocused their efforts on
organizing and have become aggressive, improving their winning
percentage in NLRB supervised elections. The firm has an exceptional
track record in winning representation elections. The firm also has
been successful in setting aside union election victories through the
NLRB's administrative processes.
Weintraub Stock believes that the real key to maintaining a union-free
workplace is supervisory training and the implementation of
progressive employment policies. The firm works with its clients to
develop comprehensive plans to avoid unionization and to promote and
maintain a union-free status. The firm also assists clients in
becoming union-free through the NLRB's decertification procedure and
withdrawals of recognition, as well as providing advice regarding
protected concerted activities, strikes, the negotiation and
administration of collective bargaining agreements, arbitrations and
appeals, and injunctions.
Weintraub Stock has also achieved a high rate of success in defending
employers in unfair labor practice proceedings, both before the NLRB
and the federal courts. The firm believes that an aggressive response
in the initial investigative process heightens the chance of a
dismissal of the charge or a successful outcome in the event of an
administrative hearing. Today, with unions using the NLRB's unfair
labor practice charge process as a "grievance" procedure,
often it is
vitally important for employers to have the best representation
possible.
