Alex Umansky, NY and NJ Labor & Employment Attorney
Alex Umansky NY NJ Labor LawyerAlex Umansky believes that the new Presidency and drastically changing political climate is leading to an increase in workplace discrimination based on race, national origin, religion, gender and sexual orientation.
As an attorney who specializes in representing employee plaintiff claims for discrimination, sexual harassment, and wage and hour complaints, Alex sees employers taking more retaliatory actions towards their employees when discriminatory behavior is brought to their attention.
The knowledge, energy, and strong opinions Alex brings to the table as an experienced plaintiff’s lawyer will surely create interest, conversation, buzz and constructive arguments that entertain and inform listeners.
As a trial attorney that has handled hundreds of cases, be sure to ask him about his big bank of outrageous stories about employers mistreating their employees. Many are movie script worthy!
Alex’s upcoming book will be a “How-To” guide for employees dealing with discrimination, sexual harassment, wage issues and employer retaliation. The book will explain what these issues look like, what employees should watch for, and what records employees should keep as evidence. Employment Law Expert Attorney Alex Umansky
