Over One Hundred Years of Dedicated Labor Relations in Alexandria

The strength of our nation's workforce relies heavily on the collective bargaining power of labor unions and associations. At the Labor Bureau, Inc., we have spent over a century providing technical expertise, economic research, and strategic legal counsel to labor organizations throughout the United States. Founded in Chicago in 1923, our firm is a historic and highly respected institution in the field of labor relations. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, we work alongside our legal arm to assist labor unions with the highly technical aspects of contract negotiations, interest arbitration, and fact-finding proceedings. If your labor organization is preparing for negotiations or facing complex contract disputes, finding a local partner with deep historical knowledge and analytical expertise is critical to protecting your members' rights.

Comprehensive Legal and Economic Support for Labor Unions

Collective bargaining requires a highly sophisticated understanding of economic trends, industry standards, and labor law. The Labor Bureau, Inc. comprises a dedicated team of economists and attorneys who specialize in research and preparation for contract negotiations. We provide in-depth wage and benefit comparisons, financial audits of employers, and contract analysis to help labor unions secure fair, sustainable agreements. Additionally, we represent national and local unions in rights arbitration, helping resolve grievances and enforce the hard-won provisions of collective bargaining agreements across public and private sectors.

Historic Champions for Transportation and Public Sector Workers

Our firm has a rich history of defending the rights of transportation workers, urban transit employees, and public sector workers. Over the decades, we have represented unions representing sleeping-car porters, airline flight engineers, and urban transit drivers, including those of Washington's Metro system, Boston, and Pittsburgh. Our former principal, the renowned labor attorney Isadore J. Gromfine, spent fifty years fighting to eliminate discriminatory segregation rules in transit union bylaws and defending union maintenance jobs in landmark cases before the United States Supreme Court. We continue this legacy of international labor solidarity, helping transit and public service unions navigate complex wage-hour issues and modern technological transitions.
