Labor Law

Background

Labor Law has been the primary focus of Geissler & Associates for eighty years.

Ted Broadwell Geissler (Stanford 1937) established the labor law consulting firm, Geissler & Associates, in Los Angeles in 1942 at the onset of World War II to improve labor-management relations at Lockheed Aircraft at a time when labor strikes or labor slowdowns might impair United States military readiness.  The hallmark of Ted Broadwell Geissler and Geissler & Associates is embodied in one word: TEAMWORK.

The next generation, Ted Jock Geissler, applied the TEAMWORK principal to all fields of endeavor, extending the TEAMWORK commitment to both employers and employees in construction, maintenance, and service industries.

Presently, Dr. Peter Scott Geissler (Stanford 1971, Yale 1974) is the principal advocate at Geissler & Associates, as follows.

  • Geissler & Associates provides advocacy for both labor and management in labor-law related adjudications before several Boards of Appeal regulated by the California Department of Industrial Relations.
  • Geissler & Associates represents unemployed workers in proceedings (incl. appeals and petitions) to an Administrative Law Judge of the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board (CUIAB).
  • Geissler & Associates represents employers in proceedings before the Occupational Safety & Health Appeals Board (CAL-OSHA).
  • Geissler & Associates represents injured workers in proceedings before the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB).
  • Geissler & Associates represents uninsured employers in proceedings before the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB).

Mr. David E. Allen, Esq. is the supervising attorney at Geissler & Associates.
