Class Action

Resolve individual claims before they can coalesce into align class.

Block class certification or limit class to the smallest possible group.

If a class is certified, use a coordinated strategy to find the most cost-effective and least disruptive resolution.

Collective Bargaining

Ask yourself: Is this the best contract we can possibly get?

Look at other labor contracts for opportunities to improve clauses in yours.

Develop arguments and facts that will convince the union you need a better contract.
