Overview
Employers navigating union organizing, collective bargaining, and proceedings before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) turn to attorney Taylor Arluck for pragmatic, business-focused counsel.
Taylor advises unionized and non-unionized employers on unfair labor practice charges, union elections, collective bargaining strategy and impasse issues, work stoppages, work-jurisdictional disputes, secondary boycotts, hot-cargo agreements, and labor arbitrations. His perspective is informed by hands-on experience in labor-management relations across sectors, including health care, media, entertainment, education, and nonprofits, as well as bargaining units of various sizes. He has supported clients through high-stakes representation cases and complex information requests and drafted proposals and counterproposals to move bargaining forward while protecting clients’ operational priorities.
In addition to traditional labor matters, Taylor counsels on federal and state employment laws, represents employers in employment litigation, provides labor and employment guidance in corporate transactions, and assists with sensitive workplace investigations.
Before joining Epstein Becker Green, Taylor was an attorney in the Labor-Management Relations Group of an international law firm. While in law school, he interned with Region 29 of the NLRB and published his law review note on federal labor law, which a former NLRB Chairman cited in an academic paper analyzing the intersection of labor and employment law in the context of employee outbursts and workplace rules.
Earlier in his career, Taylor covered labor and employment law developments for more than five years as a legal journalist. During that time, he served on a media union organizing committee and contributed to the negotiation of an initial collective bargaining agreement.
Taylor draws on these experiences to translate complex labor law developments into actionable strategies for in-house teams and business leaders.
