Has a Union Filed a Grievance Issue Against You?
Employer Defense Lawyer in Portland, Oregon
At the law firm of Gordon L. Osaka, we represent employers in Oregon, and across the United States in a variety of labor law matters. Most labor law issues we handle involve collective bargaining provisions in union contracts and just cause grievances.
The principal purpose of labor unions is to protect employee rights. For example, if an employer fails to pay health or welfare benefits, or fires an employee for unjust causes, the union has a right to file a grievance on the employee's behalf. At the same time, employers have the right to defend themselves against these allegations.
We have more than 30 years of experience defending employers against just cause grievances and in collective bargaining disputes. You can be confident in our ability to protect your business. Contact us today to discuss your labor issue with experienced employment law attorney Gordon L. Osaka.
Our Commitment to You: The Four P's. Our law firm is designed to deliver personal attention from an experienced attorney in a punctual manner at a fair price. Ultimately, our goal is to provide a superior product.
Collective Bargaining Defense
If an employer hires union members, the employer is required to pay health and welfare benefits to trust funds. The employer faces significant penalties for any failure to comply. At the law office of Gordon L. Osaka, we know how to prepare a strong defense against these rather serious allegations.
What Actions Lead to Just Cause Grievances?
In general, grievances result from baseless suspicions that an employer terminated a union member without just cause. These allegations include union activity, discrimination, retaliation for whistle-blowing or complaining of an unsafe workplace.
From the moment you retain our services, we will begin looking into the issue and determining whether the accusation is justified. Rest assured, we will aggressively represent you at every stage of the process and work hard to get the matter resolved in an efficient and effective manner.
