A Lifeline for Our Union During a Complex Contract Dispute

Our local union was facing a particularly contentious contract negotiation with a large employer who was aggressively pushing for concessions. The situation felt overwhelming, and we needed counsel who understood both the legal intricacies and the human impact. Daniel Ratner was recommended to us, and from our first meeting, his 40+ years of experience in labor and employment law was evident. He didn't just recite statutes; he explained our strategic position with clarity, anticipating the other side's moves before they made them. His deep knowledge, honed from decades of practice in New York and recognized by his 'Lawyer of the Year' awards, gave our bargaining committee immense confidence. Daniel was more than just our attorney; he was a steadfast partner. He worked tirelessly, guiding us through mediation with a perfect balance of firmness and pragmatism. The result was a fair contract that protected our members' hard-won benefits and secured critical improvements. His professionalism, strategic mind, and genuine dedication to the labor movement are exceptional. We cannot recommend Daniel J. Ratner and Levy Ratner PC highly enough.
