Labor unions usually take on the role of defending a worker’s legal rights if their employer decides to terminate them while on sick leave. But Dallas lawyer Brian Sanford took on that job for a worker and ended up beating the union that fired him before a Texas appellate court.
“Normally the unions are fighting for the rights and benefits for employees, not against them,” said Sanford of The Sanford Firm of his recent victory that gives Donald Videtich, a former transportation union director, the right to sue the union. “It is weird because my client is a union man through and through. That’s where his heart is.”
