Alaine S. Williams Elected to College of Labor and Employment Lawyers

Willig, Williams & Davidson Partner recognized for excellence in labor and employment law.

Philadelphia, PA, October 09, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Willig, Williams & Davidson is proud to announce that partner Alaine S. Williams has been elected as a Fellow of the College of Labor and Employment Lawyers. An authority on public employee labor law, Williams has been a partner with Willig, Williams & Davidson since 1986.

Williams focuses her practice on labor and employment law, representing public sector labor unions and protecting the rights of workers. She will be inducted into the College during an induction dinner on Nov. 12 in Chicago.

“Being elected as a Fellow of the College is an honor, and I am proud to be recognized among such impressive colleagues in the law,” said Williams.

Williams’ notable achievements include drafting and defending Pennsylvania legislation on behalf of public sector labor unions to require all nonmembers in a bargaining unit to pay fair share fees for benefits negotiated on their behalf, thereby enhancing the economic and political power of public sector unions in Pennsylvania. The legislation ultimately resulted in increased wages, benefits and job security for countless employees throughout the Commonwealth. She also successfully represented 150 disabled state employees who faced termination from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, enjoining the furlough sought by the Commonwealth and saving the employees’ jobs.

The College aims to promote achievement, advancement and excellence in the practice of labor and employment law, as well as to share information and act as a resource for lawyers, academicians and more.
