Californian Adverse Actions and Union Representation Laws
When you work for the government or belong to a union, you have certain legal rights and protections that employees of private companies do not enjoy. However, most union members and public employees who try to enforce these rights without the help of an experienced employment attorney do not have much success. Also, some unions decline to represent certain individuals
At Kodam & Associates, P.C., we take pride in protecting the rights of union members and of public employees working at every level of the government. In practice, our lawyers routinely represent individuals who have been unfairly disciplined, or victimized by discrimination and harassment in the workplace, or even wrongfully terminated by their employers. Hearings we can advise you on or provide representation for include:
- Union-related disciplinary hearings and appeals
- Skelly hearings
- Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) hearings
- Civil Service Commission (CSC) hearings
- Department of Personnel Administration (DPA) hearings
- State Personnel Board hearings
- Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) hearings
- Litigation in state and federal courts
Substantial Experience and Knowledge of the Law
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia once remarked: "Administrative law is not for sissies." We mention this statement simply because most adverse actions taken against public employees are governed by this body of law.
In representing more than 100 government workers over the years — including employees of California Highway Patrol, the Department of Fire and Forestry Protection, the Department of Corrections, the Department of Mental Health, and of cities ranging in size from Murrieta or Temecula to Los Angeles or San Diego — our employment attorneys have gained a comprehensive understanding of the federal and state laws that apply to these cases.
