Unions.
Our lawyers regularly represent unions and retired members of unions, whose memberships encompass the vast majority of America’s unionized industrial workers. We also represent others whose labor contracts are with employers in retail, service and public sectors.
FDPK represents:
- The United Steelworkers (USW), North America’s largest industrial union, with 1.2 million members and retirees in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean;
- The United Auto Workers (UAW), with more than 390,000 active members and more than 600,000 retired members in North America;
- The International Association of Machinists (IAM), with 720,000 members across North America.
Our legal team has also represented other union retirees, including International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), the Society Of Professional Engineering Employees In Aerospace (SPEEA, affiliated with the IFPTE), and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF).
In working with these unions, and with strong support from them, we have focused primarily on protecting important retirement benefits that union members earned in exchange for decades of service to employers. Partners Joel Hurt and Pamina Ewing lead the firm’s legal team representing unions.
