While we continue to handle more traditional labor work such as union organizational campaigns, unfair labor practice trials, arbitrations, and the like, the bulk of our caseload since the late 1980s has been in representing employers in various forums on claims of discriminatory treatment. Over that period, we have handled to conclusion at the trier of fact level, cases involving alleged sex (including sexual harassment), age, race, national origin, disability or retaliation discrimination; alleged breaches of employment contracts created by oral promises and/or handbooks or other written pronouncements; claimed breaches of an alleged good faith and fair dealing obligation; alleged discriminatory treatment because of an employee’s filing a workers’ compensation claim or complaining about unsafe practices; slander, libel, blacklisting, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, and alleged tortious interference with contractual relationships.
