Torres Law Group’s labor law services focus on three general areas:
Our consulting firm, Torres Consulting & Law Group, LLC, has recovered millions of dollars in wage theft for workers across the country when we discover non-signatory contractors failing to comply with Davis-Bacon and other prevailing wage laws. As such, TLG is uniquely positioned to attack cheating in federal court using the False Claims Act and other legal tools, particularly when a local has firsthand knowledge of contractors evading prevailing wage law.
TLG understands the LMRDA and provides advice on compliance with Department of Labor regulations on union elections, including avoiding improper use of Facebook, Twitter and other social media tools. TLG can also assist your local in filing or responding to unfair labor practices charges, as well as disciplinary or contract interpretation arbitrations. TLG’s legal services will assist your local at any phase of an organizing campaign, whether mobilizing potential members through concerted activity, training salts, defending your right to picket, reviewing handbills, or pulling the trigger on recognition. TLG can also assist in negotiating a collective bargaining agreement, or even working with employees forming the initial 501(c)(5) organization.
If individual workers have been the victim of wage theft, TLG can represent them in a lawsuit to recover wages through a variety of tools, including Fair Labor Standards Act claims and third-party beneficiary contract claims. TLG can also represent employees who have been wrongly terminated, especially those who are covered by whistleblower protection.
TLG built its reputation advancing the cause of Arizona trade unions by strengthening their Political Action Committees and enhancing their Lobbying efforts at all levels of government. Thus, in addition to ensuring that your local and your members are protected under existing law, TLG stands ready to assist you in creating better laws and better working conditions for your members through lobbying and political action.
