The Employment & Labor Relations Law Committee serves as resource for litigators whose practice involves employment and traditional labor litigation, including litigation in the courts, administrative agencies and arbitrations. More specifically, the Committee provides a forum for discussion and serves as a resource for litigators who handle employment discrimination and harassment claims, retaliation and whistleblower claims, wage and hour claims, breach of employment contract claims, restrictive covenant litigation, employment torts, unfair labor practice claims and other types of employment or labor related claims.

We have a number of subcommittees designed to allow our Committee to function effectively, such as the Newsletter, Membership and Website Subcommittees. Additionally, we are always willing to consider adding subcommittees to better serve our members. If you would like to become involved in one of the existing sub-committees or to create a new subcommittee, please contact one of the Committee Chairs.

When you attend ABA meetings, our Committee holds business meetings/ breakfasts at the Annual Meeting and at the Mid-Year Meeting of the Section of Litigation. We encourage you to attend committee meetings to find out more about what our Committee is doing.

Since our Committee is national in scope, you will have an opportunity to join one of the few organizations that draws resources and experience in employment law on a nationwide basis. We have many plaintiffs’ attorneys, defense attorneys, in-house lawyers, government officials, and even members of the judiciary. The personal relationships that are developed across the United States and into Canada through socializing at ABA meetings, participation in our subcommittees, and work on the many publications are invaluable benefits of membership.
