Colombo & Colombo has a long history of representing both employers and individuals in various labor related matters. This expertise includes, but is not limited to:
The National Labor Relations Board was established to oversee the election of representatives to labor unions in the private sector, along with investigation and remedy of unfair labor practices. Through collective bargaining, company management and unions arrive at agreements regarding working conditions, wages and hours, grievance procedures and the rights and responsibilities of trade unions. Our role as attorneys has been to represent companies in the negotiation of collective bargaining process with trade unions. We also represent companies before the NLRB in matters involving employment issues.
Arbitration is a method of alternative dispute resolution that is conducted by a neutral third party, called an arbitrator. While less formal than courtroom litigation, the arbitrator follows guidelines similar to traditional court procedure. After listening to and thoroughly evaluating the evidence of each party, the arbitrator delivers a final ruling. Colombo & Colombo represents clients in arbitration proceedings to resolve disputes between employers and employees.
Various government bodies ensure labor laws are enforced, such as the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission), the Department of Labor (DOL) and the Michigan Department of Civil Rights (MDCR). Labor laws exist to protect the rights of employees in issues such as discrimination, sexual harassment, FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act, which provides job protection for employees on medical leave), and the ADA (American Disabilities Act). Colombo & Colombo works with companies to help develop guidelines and utilize policies that ensure they are complying with and staying within the legal parameters of labor laws.
Avoiding litigation is of primary concern to most businesses. By initially putting proper legal measures in place, potential employment disputes can often be prevented. Colombo & Colombo provides training and seminars on a variety of issues including discrimination, sexual harassment, FMLA and ADA. Furthermore, Colombo & Colombo prepares and continually reviews employee handbooks, employment applications, etc. to ensure compliance with applicable laws.
