Washington, DC Federal Labor Law Attorneys

District of Columbia Federal Employment Lawyers for Union-Related Issues

Federal employees play a crucial role in the functioning of the U.S. government, and they have protection under labor laws to ensure that they receive fair treatment. Unions provide an essential platform for federal employees to advocate for their rights, negotiate contracts, and address workplace issues. However, disputes related to labor laws and unions can arise, and they can be challenging to resolve. The employment lawyers at Freedman Law, LLC can provide invaluable here and representation in these cases. We are dedicated to protecting the rights of federal employees and ensuring that their voices are heard.

Assistance With Labor Law and Union Issues

Federal employees who are members of unions have specific rights and protections under federal labor laws, including the right to collectively bargain, file grievances, and participate in union activities without fear of retaliation. However, disputes can still arise, and legal intervention may be required to ensure that these rights are upheld. Freedman Law, LLC can help federal employees address a wide range of labor law and union-related issues, including:

Contract Negotiations

Collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) negotiated through unions may define the terms and conditions of employment for federal workers. These agreements cover everything from wages and benefits to working conditions and dispute resolution procedures. Negotiating a fair and equitable contract can be a complex process, requiring a deep understanding of labor laws and the specific needs of federal employees.

Freedman Law, LLC can assist unions and federal employees during contract negotiations. Our attorneys will work closely with union representatives to develop negotiation strategies, draft contract proposals, and advocate for favorable terms that reflect the needs and priorities of workers. With our experience in employment law, we can help secure collective bargaining agreements that provide fair compensation, safe working conditions, and strong protections for federal employees.

Grievances

Formal complaints may be filed by employees or unions when they believe that the terms of a collective bargaining agreement have been violated. These grievances can relate to a wide range of issues, including unfair treatment, contract breaches, or disputes over working conditions. The grievance process is a critical tool for federal employees to hold their employers accountable and seek resolution to workplace issues.

Freedman Law, LLC offers skilled representation for federal employees and unions during the grievance process. Our attorneys can assist with drafting and filing grievances, gathering evidence to support the claims of employees, and providing representation during grievance hearings or arbitration. We are committed to ensuring that grievances are thoroughly investigated and that employees' rights are upheld.

Disciplinary Action

Federal employees are entitled to due process when facing discipline, such as suspensions, demotions, or terminations. Disciplinary actions can sometimes be unfair, discriminatory, or retaliatory. At Freedman Law, LLC, we can provide legal representation to protect the rights of employees and challenge any unjust disciplinary measures.

Our attorneys will review the circumstances of disciplinary actions, assess whether they were carried out in accordance with federal labor laws and the terms of a collective bargaining agreement, and advocate for fair resolutions. Whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation, we will work tirelessly to protect a federal employee's job and their rights.

Unfair Labor Practices

Employers or unions may violate the rights of employees under federal labor laws. Examples of unfair labor practices include interfering with union activities, retaliating against employees for filing grievances, or refusing to bargain in good faith. Federal employees have the right to file complaints with the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) if they believe their rights have been violated.

Freedman Law, LLC can assist federal employees and unions in filing complaints with the FLRA, provide representation during investigations and hearings, and seek remedies for any violations of an employee's rights. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling cases involving unfair labor practices, and we are committed to holding employers and unions accountable for their actions.

Discrimination and Retaliation

Federal employees are protected from discrimination and retaliation under multiple federal laws. Discrimination can occur in many forms, such as being passed over for promotions, receiving unfair disciplinary actions, or being subjected to harassment because of a person's race, gender, age, disability, or other protected characteristics.

The attorneys at Freedman Law, LLC can investigate claims of discrimination, gather evidence, and pursue legal action to protect an employee's rights. We are committed to fighting for justice and ensuring that federal employees can work in an environment free from discrimination or other violations of their rights.
