Mr. Krantz has represented labor unions and employees throughout his legal career, since attending NYU School of Law as a Root-Tilden Public Interest Scholar, graduating in 1995 with highest honors, and then serving as a federal district court judicial clerk for one year. 

Mr. Krantz began his work in the labor movement prior to that, as an undergraduate at Yale University, when he was a shop steward, Executive Board member and contract negotiating committee member for HERE Local 35.  As an attorney, his specialties include representing public sector employee unions and defending strikes, picketing and free speech activities, as well as a wide array of work pertaining to both traditional and non-traditional organizing campaigns. Mr. Krantz only wishes that these skills would help him to organize his elementary school age twins and quell their protest activities.

Mr. Krantz has worked on groundbreaking litigation, appellate work, and administrative cases pertaining to health benefits, public sector employees' right to strike, injunctive relief cases against companies seeking to bust union organizing drives, government in the sunshine laws, and public employers’ financial ability to pay market wages. He has also authored a number of papers and presentations on these and other subjects.
