Ufberg & Associates, LLP is a full-service manage - ment-side labour and employment law firm whose mission is to assist and provide leadership to man - agers and supervisors on a full range of issues for both unionised and non-union workforces. While no amount of work or preparation can completely pre - vent all workplace challenges, its clients have found its hallmark proactive approach to be extremely ef - fective in preventing and minimising such issues. Its objective is to work with its clients to do right, do well, and address minor issues before they become
major problems, acting not only as attorneys but as advisers, counsellors, trainers and coaches. The firm handles workplace investigations, litigation, coun - selling, collective bargaining and related document preparation across a full range of issues, including but not limited to employment discrimination, harass - ment, discipline, disability accommodation, leaves of absence, wage and hour, labour organising and re - lations, reductions in force, hiring issues, and other labour and employment-related issues.
