Northern California Labor Unions - Boxer & Gerson Attorneys

	Northern California Labor Unions For 30 years we have worked with many of Northern California’s major labor unions to advance the rights of workers. Our support staff are members of Teamsters Local 856, and our firm has a commitment to patronize union businesses whenever possible. Boxer & Gerson, LLP’s ties to the labor movement go back many years. The current Boxer & Gerson, LLP firm was an outgrowth of a leading labor law firm that included Joseph Grodin, who later went on to become a Justice of the California Supreme Court. Our firm has never lost touch with its labor roots. Senior partner Stewart Boxer, whose wife is United States Senator Barbara Boxer, has a long history as a staunch union advocate. Senior partner Michael Gerson has served as an advisor to many unions on workplace issues. Over the years, the firm has remained focused on advocating for California workers and their families through effective trial advocacy. Whenever the need arises, firm leaders have worked closely with the California Labor Federation and other union organizations to provide input on workers’ compensation reform and other legislation affecting California workers. Whenever possible, the firm also supports pro-union candidates for political office. Our workers’ compensation attorneys assist injured workers to obtain medical treatment, temporary disability payments, and other benefits before the Workers Compensation Appeals Board. When workers face discrimination, retaliation, or harassment, our employment law attorneys bring lawsuits on their behalf in the federal and state courts. Union members who suffer serious injury or death because of dangerous machinery, subcontractor negligence, vehicle accidents, or other third party causes can turn to our personal injury trial lawyers for expert assistance. And when elderly or disabled members of a union family suffer neglect or abuse, the elder abuse attorneys at Boxer & Gerson, LLP provide guidance and representation. Boxer & Gerson, LLP works cooperatively with many of Northern California’s largest unions, advising business agents, stewards, and other union leaders on employment law and workers’ compensation. Our lawyers are available free of charge to conduct workshops for the staff and members of Bay Area locals. Many of our attorneys and staff members were themselves raised in union families, and we are pleased to participate in union picnics, luncheons, conferences, and other union-sponsored events.
