/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Philadelphia labor, employment, workers'
compensation and family law firm Willig, Williams & Davidson is
pleased to announce that Laurence M.
Goodman has been elected a Fellow of The College of Labor
and Employment Lawyers.
"Unions are essential in the fight to
ensure workers are treated with dignity and respect, and I am proud
to have spent my career advocating for fair working conditions for
all," said Goodman.
Election as a Fellow is the highest recognition by a lawyer's
colleagues of sustained outstanding performance in the profession,
exemplifying integrity, dedication, and excellence.
"I am deeply honored to join such an accomplished and esteemed
body of attorneys as a Fellow of the College of Labor and
Employment Lawyers," said Goodman. "Unions are essential in the
fight to ensure workers are treated with dignity and respect, and I
am proud to have spent my career advocating for fair working
conditions for all."
In practice for over 35 years, Goodman is a trusted advisor to
labor unions and their members in negotiations and arbitrations. He
represents employees who work in a broad range of industries,
including longshoremen, transportation workers, retail industry
workers, as well as workers in the entertainment industry and
professional athletes. He routinely argues on behalf of these
workers in matters that come before federal and state courts, and
federal and state administrative agencies. Having previously worked
at the NLRB, Goodman is well versed in the rules governing union
organizing and in developing strategies for successful campaigns,
and guiding clients with respect to work preservation disputes and
secondary boycotts.

Section of Labor and Employment Law of the American Bar
Association, the College of Labor and Employment Lawyers is a
nonprofit professional organization recognizing those lawyers who,
by long and outstanding service, have distinguished themselves as
