Federal
and State regulation of employment has become more
complex and demanding and employment discrimination
litigation has become more prevalent. We advise and
represent both private and public sector employers and
organizations in every field of employment and labor
law, including employment-related litigation on behalf
of management in federal and state courts and before
administrative agencies in defending sexual harassment
claims, race, age, sex, and disability discrimination
claims. We have defended claims under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with
Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Civil Rights
Acts of 1866 and 1871 (42 U.S.C. Sections 1981 and
1983), as well as constitutional claims under the United
States and Missouri Constitutions.
The
Firm offers legal counsel and services in the
negotiation and administration of collective bargaining
agreements, labor arbitrations, drafting and
administration of affirmative action plans, OFCCP
compliance audits and proceedings, OSHA compliance and
litigation, and wage and hour laws, such as Department
of Labor regulations, FLSA, and the Davis-Bacon Act.
We
provide counsel concerning preventive personnel
relations for employers, including the drafting of
employee handbooks/policy manuals and employment
contracts, wage garnishment, child labor laws,
conducting personnel audits, advising on employee
motivation, discipline and terminations,
employment-at-will issues, such as wrongful discharge,
restrictive covenants, tort, and breach of contract
litigation. We represent management in worker's
compensation and unemployment compensation issues.
