WHY THIS ROLE IS HARD TO HIRE

  • Employers may struggle to find attorneys with direct experience interpreting collective bargaining agreements and resolving complex disputes involving unionized workforces.
  • Candidates experienced in unfair labor practice proceedings, union organizing matters, and National Labor Relations Board processes can be difficult to source.
  • Organizations face hiring risk when attorneys lack the negotiation judgment needed to address labor disputes without worsening workplace conflict.
