For the past 29 years, Roger has represented employers in virtually all aspects of the employment relationship. He is an experienced litigator in both State and Federal Courts as well as before the National Labor Relations Board and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
He has assisted clients in union election campaigns, and has developed policies and procedures to assist employers in maintaining their non-union status. For those clients that are unionized, Roger advises and assists in the negotiation of union contracts, and arbitrations arising from those contracts.
His practice also includes advising clients on compliance with various employment-related matters; drafting employment agreements, employee handbooks; and employment policies. He frequently conducts management training on the subjects of discrimination, harassment, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the FMLA, discipline investigations, and maintenance of non-union status.
