The Fairness Center is a nonprofit, public interest law firm that provides free legal services to those hurt by public sector union officials. Being, above all, client centric, we vigorously pursue our clients’ goals through a cohesive, holistic approach to representation, advocating for our clients both in the court of law and the court of public opinion. The firm’s seasoned litigation attorneys employ a variety of strategies to further our clients’ best interests, handling matters ranging from administrative charges and hearings to traditional and class-action lawsuits in federal and state courts. 

Our firm has filed a wide variety of lawsuits on behalf of individuals who are both union and non-union members. Our clients have:

    •	Forced Pennsylvania’s largest public unions to change their contracts, 
        freeing over 50,000 public employees from limits on when they can leave 
        the union.
    •	Uncovered stolen union dues and demanded answers for why a union 
        didn’t follow its own financial policies while tens of thousands of dollars 
        were embezzled.
    •	Defended a local union’s right to separate from a state union—and exposed 
        what a court called “questionable” financial practices.
    •	Won a judge’s ruling that union officials violated their duty to treat all 
        employees fairly when the union misled its own members during contract 
        ratification.
    •	Filed federal class actions against three of Pennsylvania’s largest public 
        unions over how they trap thousands of employees into membership or 
        into paying dues after they leave the union.
