Labor law attorneys deal with a broad range of labor issues mainly related to how employers treat employees, former employees and applicants for employment. This includes all the areas of the employer-employee relationship, negotiations, and the collective bargaining agreement.

Generally, labor laws were designed to create a bargaining balance between employers and employees; prohibiting management and the union from engaging in "unfair labor practices" and encouraging both parties to engage in faithful collective bargaining.

Labor laws also grant employees the right to unionize and allow employers and employees to engage in typical union activities like strikes, pickets, seeking injunctions, and lockouts, which is done for getting their demands heard.
