Miami, Florida, Labor Law Attorneys
State and federal laws afford employees the right to work in a safe workplace. Labor unions have fought to achieve this goal for over a century. Despite all the advances made by labor unions throughout the years, there are still employers who refuse to follow the law in their relationships with employees.
At the law firm of Neil Flaxman, we represent labor unions throughout South Florida in contract negotiations, labor disputes, and Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) matters. For the past 44 years, our firm's founding attorney has fought hard for the rights of employees in disputes with their employers. If you have a question or concern about a labor law, contact us to schedule a consultation.
One of the differences between employment law and labor law centers on what laws govern the relationship between your employer and you. Most labor law issues involve the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). This independent government body is authorized to investigate and settle disputes related to unions and unfair labor practices. Some of the labor law issues we advise people about relate to:
- Severance negotiations
- Contract Negotiations, including Non-compete agreements
- Grievances and Lawsuits
- Violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act
ERISA Disputes
Disputes related to employee benefits like a pension plan are often regulated by ERISA. This federal statute protects employee benefits, particularly employee pension plans. This is a complex area, fraught with disputes and misunderstandings. Often times, these disputes will wind up in litigation. Our firm represents employees who are being denied their ERISA-protected, health welfare and pension benefits.
Labor unions are afforded specific protections under state and federal labor laws. If you are a member of a labor union and need legal advice, contact a lawyer at the law office of Neil Flaxman for a consultation.
