Jason is a partner in our Washington, D.C., office where his practice is devoted to representing unions in arbitration, litigation, and contract negotiation, and in matters before the National Labor Relations Board. Jason also advises and strategizes with his clients on the enforcement of collective bargaining agreements. He represents several of the Firm’s labor clients with respect to organizing issues, duty of fair representation issues, internal union matters, and providing general advice.
Whether serving as chief spokesperson or as a strategic consultant, Jason passionately believes in amplifying worker voice at the bargaining table. Jason has successfully negotiated agreements in both the private and public sectors, across a wide range of industries such as education, healthcare, and transportation.

Jason also previously worked for TWU Local 100 in New York City, where he regularly arbitrated cases for the union.
But Jason maintains his passion and involvement in the education sector: he trains union advocates in collective bargaining in association with the Scheinman Institute on Conflict Resolution at Cornell University and leads the Steering Committee of Workplace Street Law. Additionally, Jason serves as a board member of DC Jobs with Justice and on his Local School Advisory Team for his local public elementary school.
