He has worked with numerous labor unions across the country, including the Steelworkers, Teamsters, Sheet Metal Workers, Longshoremen, Boilermakers, CWA, UFCW, UAW, IAM, IBEW, BTCGM, SEIU, and various trade unions such as the Carpenters, Pipefitters, and Laborers.

Maintaining a well-rounded practice, David provides the full range of employment services. He defends employers in class and collective actions, as well as individual cases involving alleged wrongful discharge, discrimination, retaliation, harassment, and wage-related claims. He also handles breach of contract disputes and worker classification matters. In addition, David defends clients in high-stakes qui tam actions, often initiated by current or former employees and brought under the False Claims Act.

As a proactive counselor, David advises clients on day-to-day employment and labor issues. This includes reviewing and drafting employment policies, conducting training across the labor and employment spectrum, and providing guidance on complex employee relations matters.
