ASK ABOUT OUR UNION DISCOUNT!!!

In a move that will tilt the balance of labor power in Washington more in favor of unions, President Obama last month appointed controversial labor attorney Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

On July 29, 2010 at the White House, with Vice President Biden at the podium, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC” or the "Commission”) announced its long-awaited amendments to the Telemarketing Sales Rule (“TSR”) targeting the sale of “debt relief services” (the “Final Rule” or the “rule”). Under the Final Rule, virtually all debt relief service providers that promote their services through inbound or outbound telephone calls, including calls arising from lead generators and online advertising, will be subject to a ban on advance fees before services are provided, as well as new and existing requirements, and other provisions, of the TSR.    

Union Members who are involved in an accident or sustain a personal injury are not always fully aware of their rights. This includes what benefits to claim, how to choose healthcare providers, and what loss of income and other expenses deserve to be repaid. It is also a daunting task to deal directly with claims adjusters at insurance companies who are skilled negotiators trained to settle accident claims as quickly and cheaply as possible.
