Labor Arbitrations

With over three decades of experience in labor relations and employment law, I have honed expertise in labor arbitration, contract negotiations, and grievance management. My career includes handling complex arbitrations and grievances across a variety of sectors, including higher education, healthcare, and government entities. I have led successful arbitration proceedings involving contract interpretation, disciplinary actions, working conditions, and pay disputes.

At Stanford University, I oversee grievance and arbitration processes for a large workforce, advising senior leadership on labor and employment matters while ensuring compliance with labor laws. Previously, at Dignity Health, I handled arbitration cases system-wide, resolving disputes related to union agreements and workplace conditions. As a Labor Relations Manager for Contra Costa County, I managed arbitration proceedings across multiple bargaining units, consistently achieving outcomes that balanced the needs of employees and organizational goals. Additionally, I have represented public entities in arbitrations through my roles at the City of Oakland and San Francisco, handling a broad range of employment-related disputes.

Throughout my career, I have developed and executed strategies for resolving labor disputes and promoting harmonious labor relations, always aligning my approach with the goals of risk mitigation, compliance, and fostering positive workplace environments.
