He has had lead responsibility representing management in successful union election campaigns, including several campaigns in the airline industry, involving tens of thousands of employees.

Mr. Kiefer has argued numerous cases before federal courts, federal agencies, U.S. magistrates, arbitrators and state agencies. He has authored scores of briefs to various federal courts of appeal and the U.S. Supreme Court.
