Jeffrey W. Pagano is a partner with the firm's Labor & Employment Group. He focuses on all forms of corporate operating design, litigation and negotiation, primarily in the area of labor and employment law, arising under the NLRA, RLA, Jones Act, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, ADEA, FLSA, SCA, ERISA, E.O. 11246, Rehabilitation Act, VEVRAA, OSHA, ADA, FMLA, SCA, FCRA, FCA, as well as the numerous statutory schemes impacting the workplace throughout the U.S. Additionally, he continues to litigate significant complex commercial matters arising out of the purchase and sale of business organizations, intellectual property, and contractual disputes in courts throughout the U.S. or in arbitration. His experience and knowledge is deep, having had the opportunity over a 30-year period to strategically build, restructure and/or rebuild organizations, whether they are unionized or union-free, in order to create value. In doing so, he deals with the complexity of simultaneously achieving internal change, while managing the risk of external liability and minimizing the cost of implementation.
Mr. Pagano has experience in many industries, including all forms of transportation (armored, OTR, shipping, aircraft), manufacturing, financial, automotive, steel, retail and consumer products, hospitality, health care, and a myriad of other service industries. He approaches each assignment as unique, requiring independent and creative thinking, regardless of the "norm," in order to achieve a client's objectives.
Mr. Pagano has been involved in hundreds of union organizing campaigns on behalf of management. He also has extensive experience before the NLRB, in collective bargaining, as well as the ongoing administration of the employment relationship, including arbitration. Mr. Pagano has also developed workplace policies and procedures that produce effective internal workplace dispute mechanisms designed to avoid external liability. These practices enhance management's operational and leadership credibility, while reducing the risk of unionization, discrimination claims, whistleblower claims and wage-hour claims (collective, class, and individual), which lowers the potential legal spend in the process. In this regard, once a client has followed the program designed by Mr. Pagano, whether in relation to an organizing campaign, wage-hour and other compliance processes or any workplace system, should litigation arise, he can utilize alternative fee arrangements to reduce the legal spend and "partner" with the client toward the resolution of any dispute arising as a consequence. Mr. Pagano's client relationships are typically longstanding because he actually invests in the relationship at many levels.
Mr. Pagano has extensive experience in negotiating with and litigating against the most sophisticated labor unions in the country, including the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), American Postal Workers Union (APWU), Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the International Longshoremen's Union (ILA), the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), United Steelworkers (USW), United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and numerous labor organizations pursuant to 9(b)(3). When acting either as lead negotiator or strategic advisor, he has successfully managed contentious collective bargaining negotiations through impasse and implementation of final offer without any adverse findings by any regulatory authority.
Mr. Pagano is Contributing Editor of Developing Labor Law and a lecturer for the American Management Association and the Institute for Applied Management and Law, Inc. He served as counsel to the general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board, Region 9, Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Pagano has participated in various speaking forums, including the National Policy Conference, sponsored by the National Mediation Board, concerning the globalization of collective bargaining under the RLA in the airline industry, the National Armored Car Association, and the Independent Armored Car Association. He has also testified before Congress.
Jeffrey W. Pagano is the Partner in charge of our Labor & Employment Practice. Thursday, March 19, 2020, Governor Cuomo
