Unions can be very helpful to employees in negotiating agreements with employers on working conditions, benefits and compensation. Unions have experience in a wide variety of employment law issues and in negotiating with employers to seek the best results for employees. Federal law provides most employees the right to petition for a secret ballot election for union representation. If you have questions concerning your right to elect union representation in your workplace or feel that your right to union representation has been violated, contact an experienced employment and labor law attorney.
