Any thoughts on a path in traditional labor or is that field going the way unionization is going?

I am a traditional labor lawyer. In my early 40s. I pushed hard to do it back when I was a junior and made a reputation in my firm. I love it, and there is more work to shake a stick at right now. I don’t see that going away anytime soon. Unionization rates have been steady for a decade and people keep talking about the death of unions, but the work is always there

Also, there are so few attorneys that really know union issues these days. Sort of a dying breed, but the work has not disappeared and unions are making a resurgence under the Biden administration. It’s a great area to become an expert in.

I need help managing a contract transition. I just started working as project manager owning a large system and help manage a team of developers contracted by a different company. Now their contract is ending and I’ve been asked to represent the gov’t as a contractor and make sure the transition goes well. I’ve never been in this position…usually I’m either transitioning in or out. The outgoing isn’t very organized with their knowledge transfer and documentation and want to help them but how?

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?
