Kerry P. Hastings

Kerry represents employers in a broad range of labor and employment matters involving unfair labor practices, union organizing, contract negotiations, arbitrations, employment discrimination, and other labor and employment related issues.

Kerry has substantial experience representing both private and public sector clients, including manufacturers, public schools and universities, and construction companies, in matters involving traditional labor law and employment litigation. He has handled hundreds of labor arbitrations and made countless appearances in litigation before the National Labor Relations Board and in state and federal courts. Admitted in four federal circuits and the United States Supreme Court, Kerry has substantial appellate experience in both NLRB and employment matters. Kerry has been lead counsel in multiple cutting edge cases in the D.C. Circuit challenging NLRB attempts to certify unions without a valid quorum. In early 2016, the West Virginia Supreme Court unanimously affirmed summary judgment for Kerry’s client in a sex harassment and retaliatory discharge case.
