Private Sector Employee Discipline

Labor and Employment Attorney With Experience

Labor and employment law in New York can often be confusing to an employee, particularly if a disciplinary action has the potential to lead to your dismissal. It is important to note that some unionized employees have contractual protections that provide very specific rules and regulations employers must follow when taking disciplinary actions against their employees, including:

• Suspensions without pay
• Demotions
• Terminations

Very often unionized workers have due process protections with respect to their employment and as such, their employers must comply with the applicable collective bargaining agreement (contract) controlling the terms and conditions of employment. Our office has represented thousands of employees in disciplinary proceedings, Informal Disciplinary Conferences, Step I, II, and III hearings, and arbitration before the American Arbitration Association.
