Every worker deserves fair treatment, safe working conditions, and a voice in the workplace. Whether you’re dealing with contract disputes, union issues, wage violations, or unsafe work environments, labor laws exist to protect you. At Castronovo & McKinney, LLC, our Atlantic City employment lawyers are committed to Protecting Your Rights and advocating for workers under both state and federal labor laws.
What Is Labor Law?
Labor law refers to the legal framework that governs the relationship between employees, employers, and labor unions. It covers everything from wage and hour protections to collective bargaining rights and workplace safety standards. Whether you’re a union member or a non-union employee, labor law affects your working conditions and legal protections.
Common Labor Law Issues We Handle
- Unfair labor practices and retaliation against union activity
- Wage and hour violations, including unpaid overtime or minimum wage disputes
- Wrongful termination or discipline without just cause
- Denial of mandated breaks or sick leave
- Hostile work environments and workplace harassment
- Violation of collective bargaining agreements (CBAs)
- Misclassification of workers as independent contractors
If your employer has violated your labor rights or retaliated against you for standing up, you may have a strong legal claim.
Legal Protections for Workers
Atlantic City employees are protected by a wide range of labor laws, including:
- National Labor Relations Act (NLRA): Protects the right of workers to organize, bargain collectively, and engage in concerted activity.
- Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): Sets minimum wage and overtime standards.
- New Jersey Wage and Hour Law: Mirrors and expands on FLSA protections at the state level.
- Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA): Ensures safe working conditions for all employees.
These laws prohibit employers from engaging in retaliation, coercion, or intimidation against employees who assert their rights.
