Collective Bargaining And Arbitration Experience
I conduct arbitrations, fact-finding hearings, civil service hearings and employment mediations in the public and private sector throughout California. With almost 20 years of experience in labor and management, I have participated in national and local collective bargaining and arbitrated in the transportation, freight, healthcare, entertainment, building trades, and service industries, as well as the public sector. I have experience with labor-management partnerships, fact-finding and interest-based bargaining.
