Success Stories

Meet the loyal, hardworking people disenfranchised by coercive union power and abuses who teamed up with CIE to create change.

“I would like to thank the CIE team for responding to our call for help. Without them, we would have been unable to move forward with our goal to decertify. We would still be trapped in a situation we desperately wanted out of. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

— Kathie Fields, CIE Client & Case Petitioner

“Most labor lawyers work for companies and unions, but CIE works for the people.”

— Michael A. Caldwell, CIE Attorney
