 We represent employees who have been subjected to Labor Code violations such as: failure to pay overtime, being mislabeled by employers as “managers” to avoid paying overtime, and the failure of employers to provide required lunch and rest breaks, and includes employees who did not receive timely payment of agree upon wages as well as sexual harassment, discrimination and wrongful termination issues.
Employment law encompasses a wide variety of issues like Pension Plans, Retirement, Occupational Safety & Health Regulations, Affirmative Action, Discrimination in the Workplace and Sexual Harassment.
Labor laws were designed to equalize the bargaining power between employers and employees-prohibiting employers and unions from engaging in specified "unfair labor practices" and establishing an obligation of both parties to engage in good faith collective bargaining. Labor laws mainly deal with relationships between employers and unions. Labor laws grant employees the right to unionize and allow employers and employees to engage in certain activities (e.g., strikes, picketing, seeking injunctions, lockouts) for the purpose of getting their demands fulfilled.
