We'll help you negotiate and enforce an agreement that protects your rights.

Richard F. Blass & Associates, LLC has extensive experience in collective bargaining. We have represented many departments in negotiating a CBA and are intimately involved in maintenance of the agreement. A CBA is only as strong as those who enforce it. Our team has been before the Illinois Labor Relations Board, Federal Court, Circuit Court and Arbitrators protecting benefits officers like you have worked hard to obtain.

Lawsuits, arbitration, unfair labor practices and labor management meetings are just a few of the tools we use to maintain standards. In addition, we are keenly aware of the negative impact speaking up can have on your career. We are mindful of that and always treat management fairly and respectfully. You can count on us to implement the least invasive method possible while taking on as much of the blame and responsibility as we can. 

Don’t let our “nice guy” approach fool you, though. We will not hesitate to use all means necessary to advocate for your position.
