Northeast Labor Strategies was founded on a simple belief: labor organizations deserve knowledgeable, responsive, and strategic representation.
Founder and Principal Labor Representative Ryan Wilder brings years of firsthand experience in public-sector labor relations, union leadership, collective bargaining, grievance administration, disciplinary matters, contract interpretation, and labor-management relations.
As an active municipal law-enforcement supervisor and longtime union leader, Ryan has worked directly through many of the same challenges union presidents and executive boards face every day — evaluating grievances, interpreting collective bargaining agreements, preparing for negotiations, addressing disciplinary matters, responding to changes in working conditions, developing bargaining strategies, working with labor attorneys, and deciding when an issue should be resolved, challenged, or taken further.
That experience became the foundation for Northeast Labor Strategies.
