National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)

Whether it's union organizing, unfair labor practice charges or responding to a labor union, Barnes & Thornburg's labor department has years of experience helping employers navigate the NLRB minefield. And the minefield is becoming more dangerous; unions are winning NLRB elections at record rates, the NLRB is changing the rules to make it easier for unions to organize and the law is constantly changing.

Our lawyers have extensive experience in labor and NLRB matters, including handling the certification of a union, objections arising from an election and unfair labor practice charges brought by a union or employee.

We have:

• Helped employers win organizing drives against virtually every union in nearly every state
• Defeated hundreds of unfair labor practice charges
• Trained and advised employers on how to avoid unfair labor practices
• Argued before the NLRB to resist changes in the law that would unfairly disadvantage employers.
