New York Employment Lawyers Helping Clients With the Full Range of Labor and Union Law Issues
Before labor unions, American workers were often forced to work long hours for little pay and in dangerous conditions. When workers galvanized, they were able to bring about changes that increased the health and safety of all workers. The changes made by the unions of the early 20th century are still enjoyed by workers of today—that is why the law protects workers who seek to form unions. However, many employers are reluctant to allow their workers to unionize. At Ricotta & Marks, P.C., we take action to enforce workers’ rights. At Ricotta & Marks, P.C., our labor and union attorneys in New York City are strong, aggressive advocates for clients. We are always ready to take action to enforce workers’ rights.

Know Your Rights: How to Respond to an Employer Discouraging Union Formation
If your employer demoted you, fired you or threatened to cut your hours, you may feel as if you have nowhere to turn. However, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) can hear your case and offer you recourse. Our employee rights lawyers can provide you with effective representation before the NLRB. Through the NLRB, we can help you secure back pay and an offer of reinstatement from your employer. Companies that violate NLRB regulations must be held accountable.
If you wish to form a union, join a union, or help others join a union, the law protects you. While employers are, in some ways, permitted to present the case against a union, there are strong legal limits on what they can and cannot do. Under state and federal law, New York employers are strictly forbidden from retaliating against employees who wish to organize in the workplace. If you are concerned that your employer will retaliate against you for engaging in any of these protected activities, our labor union attorneys are prepared to take forceful action on your behalf.
