Negotiations & Legal Representation
The United Federation LEOS-PBA Law Enforcement Officers Security & Police Benevolent Association is a full service labor organization formed to provide every labor related service from organizing, negotiations, grievance processing, dispute resolution, legal litigation and legislative representation.
The United Federation LEOS-PBA mission is to serve as a voice for law enforcement officers and security professionals nationwide to their employers. Thousands of law enforcement officers and security professionals provide a fundamental protective service to federal agencies as contractors. These bargaining unit employees need to have their workplace concerns and interests represented to their employer with passion, integrity, and fairness.
The United Federation delivers a comprehensive employee and labor relations program that will provide high quality service to officers by representing their interests and negotiating with the employer for results that create a better workplace. Our union is characterized by three core values: personalized service, transparency, and results.

Working to Protect Your Rights
UNION REPRESENTATION
Experienced Counsel
The Firm’s core work for almost 40 years has been representing labor organizations in every facet of labor-management relations and internal union administration. We handle state and federal court litigation, NLRB proceedings, and grievance and interest arbitrations. Combined, our attorneys have handled well over 1,000 arbitrations. We have testified before legislative bodies on behalf of our union clients. We assist our union clients with collective bargaining negotiations. With negotiations, we can act as lead negotiator at the table or provide “back room” advice to the union’s negotiators as needed. We can do elaborate contract proposal costing for the union so its negotiators can have a full understanding of how much money different contract proposals will cost the employer.
Our union clients include public and private sector organizations. For public sector organizations that are not afforded full collective bargaining rights, our Firm assists them in using their collective power to improve the work lives of their members. For those organizations, we also provide representation for their members in whatever disciplinary process the agency has.
