Union-Side Only
At Herring & Root, we are proud to stand with organized labor. We believe unions play a critical role in promoting fair wages, safe working conditions, and democratizing workplaces. Whether you’re facing an organizing challenge or a legal dispute, our labor and employment law team is here to support your union’s goals and defend your members’ rights. Our firm has roots in representing unions, union officials, and workers in matters involving collective bargaining, grievances, arbitration, and administrative hearings. We offer skilled, strategic counsel grounded in experience navigating the complexities of union-side labor law.
Our attorneys provide the legal support you need to protect your members and uphold your mission. We will represent clients in proceedings before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the Illinois Labor Relations Board (ILRB), the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board (IELRB), and assist in grievance arbitrations and filing charges of unfair labor practices (ULPs).
We advise on compliance with internal union governance requirements under the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), representing unions in bringing ULP charges against employers. We can also help union-linked benefit fund administrators navigate the intricate requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) – from plan administration, to drafting plan amendments and updating SPDs, to questions prohibited transaction and breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims.
