Labor and Employment

The success of every stage and every aspect of a construction project depends on one factor above all others: a talented, driven, and well-managed workforce. Skilled and highly-trained workers can be a project’s greatest asset, or they can become a source of delays, disputes, and significant liability.

 

When Chicago-area construction industry employers need clear and actionable guidance, steady and accessible counsel, and the experience and resources to handle all of their labor and employment concerns, they can turn to the lawyers of Grogan Hesse & Uditsky, P.C. (GHU).

But all employers know that disputes with employees or the unions that represent their interests are always a possibility. GHU is a trusted ally for unionized construction employers facing challenges with organized labor, effectively negotiating favorable terms for collective bargaining agreements (including project agreements), participating in arbitrations, managing with work stoppages or strikes, and defending against unfair labor practices.

 

GHU defends against the full range of employment-related claims, including matters pending before federal and state agencies such as the EEOC, NLRB, USDOL, IDOL, OSHA, and IDHR, as well as in federal and state court. Whether at a negotiating table, before a hearing board, or in a courtroom, our lawyers leverage their considerable advocacy and negotiating skills to advance and protect our clients’ interests.
