Gary L. Simpler Won an Arbitration for a Major Lighting Manufacturer
Gary L. Simpler won an arbitration for a major lighting manufacturer involving a representation rights dispute between two unions over the closing of one facility represented by one union and the transfer of work to another facility represented by the other union. The arbitrator agreed with the Company that the work should be staffed with employees who performed the work at the old location and who were represented by the first union. This decision avoided significant training costs and allowed the Company to maintain efficiency, quality and customer service.
