William T. Hopkins, Jr.

From the beginning of his career in 1977, his practice has been devoted primarily to the representation of management in labor relations and employment law issues encompassing virtually all areas of the employer-employee relationship. For four decades, Tuck represented employers in connection with labor strikes and picketing. He acts as chief negotiator in contract negotiations throughout the country in a wide range of industries including medical, healthcare, manufacturing, service, public sector (with a special emphasis on schools and universities) and construction. Such negotiations included, in addition to conventional bargaining, buyer (successor) renegotiations, strike settlement resolution and wage reopeners. In addition to representing employers before federal and state agencies such as the EEOC and the NLRB, he tried, as first chair, numerous employment discrimination jury trials.
