Union-Related Analyses

NERA's economists have conducted studies on labor union issues including the desirability of using union labor, aspects of a union decertification election before the National Labor Relations Board, and the reasonable compensation of various union crafts in the railroad industry. Our experts have also testified on wage comparability and cost of living issues for major municipal unions. In wage and hour cases, we have assessed claims that union members were not paid overtime or provided with other benefits to which they were allegedly entitled. Such cases have required our experts to work with large datasets including employee time records and detailed information on benefits received.
