Employment

Tressler has extensive experience in employment related issues, advising employers on hiring, discipline, leave and discharge issues. We represent clients before the Illinois Department of Human Rights, the Illinois Human Rights Commission and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. When necessary, we diligently defend our clients against actions in state and federal courts, including Title VII discrimination, wrongful discharge, Family Medical Leave Act, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act and Fair Labor Standards Act.

We are skilled in collective bargaining negotiations, grievance arbitrations, mediation and unfair labor practice matters before various forums, including the Illinois Labor Relations Board. In particular, we have frequently been part of our clients’ negotiating teams relative to contract discussions with a variety of public employee bargaining units.
