Taking labor by the horns With 20 offices and over 325 attorneys, Jackson Lewis Schnitzler & Krupman has been in the employment law business since the 1950s. According to firm literature, the firm partners with "employers to devise policies and procedures promoting constructive employee relations and limiting disputes." Observers tend to assign a different description to the firm's activities: union busting. Jackson Lewis has developed a tough reputation for taking on organized labor. The firm even offers management seminars (ineligible to those affiliated with labor) with titles such as "How to Stay Union-Free Into the 21st Century." With top notch clients such as Office Depot and Borders, Jackson Lewis breaks down its practice into the following areas: Employment Litigation, Labor Relations, Employee Benefits, Immigration, Affirmative Action Plan Preparation (AAP) and OFCCP Audit Defense Practice, and Basic Affirmative Action Plan Preparation Services. UK, ho! Like other U.S.-based firms, Jackson Lewis sees opportunities internationally. Commenting on the push in January 1999, one partner told The Observer, "U.K. companies have a lot to learn. Recognition ballots can be battles for the heart and soul of a company." U.S. labor leaders have also had their share of commentary on Jackson's international expansion. "Stop these guys at your shore," one union adviser warned, adding: "They stoop to almost anything to stop unions winning ballots, and it's immensely damaging."
