Labor Arbitration | Mediation | Interest Arbitration | Fact Finding

Providing professional dispute resolution between Unions and Employers.

We are proud to announce The Labor Relations Connection has signed the RCI™ Pledge!

Welcome

Since 1984, The Labor Relations Connection, Inc. (The LRC) has been answering the need for Labor Arbitration, Mediation, Interest Arbitration and Fact Finding services for parties seeking superior case administration at a lower cost — without sacrificing quality of service.

Here at The Labor Relations Connection, we are experts in administering Labor Arbitration cases. Collective Bargaining Agreements between Unions and Employers typically include a provision for using arbitration to resolve disputes that the parties are unable to resolve themselves. This process involves the parties selecting a neutral third-party Arbitrator, with the agreement that the Arbitrator will hear their grievance and rule on the dispute in the form of a final and binding Award.

That’s where we come in. The Labor Relations Connection is a neutral, third-party agency that facilitates the arbitration process in a way that keeps the process moving. We’re here to assist the parties in any way we can, every step of the way. Whether it be navigating conference calls, setting up virtual hearings, or routine case administration, our agency handles everything in an efficient, highly organized, responsive, personal, and professional manner.

One thing that sets us apart is our availability to be reached outside of conventional business hours in the case of special or unusual circumstances. We can be reached before 9:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m. for the convenience of the parties whenever the need may arise.

Arbitrators available through other agencies are also available through The Labor Relations Connection. We make every effort to offer the parties the services of arbitrators with whom they are familiar and prefer to hear their cases. We also offer some arbitrators who are exclusively on our roster, allowing parties a wide range of options.

"From the very first case The Labor Relations Connection administered for one of our clients, our firm knew that we had found the ideal arbitration administrator to suit the needs not only of our clients but also our busy law practice. Over the ensuing years, our lawyers and administrative staff have come to appreciate and depend on the responsiveness of Jan Teehan and her staff, as well as their attention to detail. Our cases are scheduled promptly, and the communication around expectations has been clear and consistent. But almost more importantly, Jan and her staff have been gracious and good humored, even during the depths of the pandemic, allowing us to develop a congenial professional relationship out of what might otherwise have been a set of mundane business transactions. I can’t recommend Jan and her team highly enough."

AL GORDON O'CONNELL, ESQ. | Managing Partner, Pyle Rome Ehrenberg PC

“As the traditional private provider of labor arbitration administration deteriorates, The Labor Relations Connection run by Jan Teehan not only fills the resulting gap, but provides service that is superb. In significant part, this is because Jan actually cares about the parties and the arbitrators. She attends to details. She schedules, she follows up, she follows up her follow ups. One thing labor and management agree on: The LRC is terrific. And, arbitrators whose livelihoods depend on the effectiveness of her services, are outspoken about their preference for The LRC. And at risk of gilding the lily, during the pandemic, when the process could have fallen apart, Jan quickly transferred things to Zoom, and helped us all through the transition.”

ARTHUR TELEGEN, ESQ. | Seyfarth Shaw LLP

"The Labor Relations connection can be described in two words – The Best. The quality of the lists for the selection of arbitrators is far better than other agencies. Many times I have joined with employers requesting special considerations and I have never been disappointed. Jan’s gentle reminders for timely responses to all are appreciated. I respect Jan’s skills, ability and work habits. Most of all Jan is a pleasure to work with and has a great sense of humor. If you are not working with The Labor Relations Connection, you are not working with the best."
