When Union Negotiations Fail to Protect Injured Workers: Know Your Legal Options
At 911Job, our network of attorneys provides legal support in New York and New Jersey.
Union contracts are meant to protect workers — but what happens when union negotiations don’t cover your injury, and your boss ignores the accident? Many workers assume their union will handle every situation, but in reality, serious gaps often remain. If an incident is ignored by a supervisor, or the employer won’t help after the accident, you may be left injured, unpaid, and unsupported — unsure of what happens if I get hurt at work or what my rights at work really are.
Some workers discover their job injury is not covered, or that their employer is not paying them after time off due to an injury. Others are shocked to find that no report was ever filed, and legal advice for a job accident wasn’t offered. If you're asking "Can I sue my job for an accident?" or thinking "My job caused my problem", you’re not alone. These are real issues — and they require real legal answers, not just a union representative.
Our 911Job network of lawyers provides support to workers whose rights were not fully protected during or after union negotiations. If you have been injured and need to protect your rights at work, we can connect you with lawyers who can help if your employer fails to help you after an accident or ignores your injury altogether. Whether it’s a job accident issue left out of your contract or direct employer negligence, 911Job is here to help you move from confusion to compensation.
