Public and Private Labor Unions

Bennett Hartman Morris & Kaplan, LLP, is a civil litigation practice that concentrates in labor and employment law in both the public and private sectors. We pride ourselves in comprehensive representation of labor unions and their members in employment and labor disputes. We have a common sense approach to disputes with management, providing the highest level of expertise and efficiency; we never lose sight of the bottom line.

Bennett Hartman Morris & Kaplan, LLP, represents numerous national, statewide and local labor organizations in both Oregon and Washington. Those unions represent members in fields as diverse as education, public safety, the paper industry, and service employees. Our attorneys have represented unions and their members in collective bargaining, union organizing and elections, public sector labor disputes, grievance arbitrations, interest arbitrations, representation before the Oregon Employee Relations Board and the National Labor Relations Board, and class action lawsuits on behalf of employees and pension recipients. Additionally, we represent union members in suits under the Fair Labor Standards Act and other employment laws. Bennett Hartman Morris & Kaplan, LLP, also represents individual and coalitions of labor organizations on matters of joint concern relating to election laws, the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), and other litigation.

Our commitment to labor is also reflected in our staff; they are proud members of UFCW Local 555. If you have a question regarding our firm's services for your labor organization, please contact Greg Hartman, Hank Kaplan, or Tom Doyle directly at 503-227-4600
