WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2005--Ford & Harrison, one of the nation's largest labor and employment law firms, is pleased to announce the return of Jerry Glass, the former Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer at US Airways, to lead J. Glass & Associates - a consultancy division of the firm. Glass, a key US Airways executive who played a pivotal role in the airline's restructuring and its recent, highly successful emergence from bankruptcy, will practice in the firm's Washington, DC office and spearhead a firm-wide initiative to expand and market all of Ford & Harrison's ancillary consulting services.
Glass returns to Ford & Harrison's J. Glass & Associates after working for three and a half years at US Airways. Glass played a crucial role in leading the negotiations with all of the airline's labor unions and was instrumental in the success of the overall restructuring.
"When it comes to understanding human resources issues, and labor and employee relations, Jerry is the best of the best," commented John Luth, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Seabury Group LLC, a specialized investment banking and advisory firm which assisted US Airways Group, Inc., in its restructuring and is widely recognized as one of the top financial advisors and aviation consultants in the business. "He is a skilled negotiator and a trusted advisor."
Glass's return to Ford & Harrison occurs just as the firm embarks on an aggressive expansion of its labor and employment consulting practice into more specialized areas such as recruiting, corporate learning, lost time management, workplace issues, and corporate restructurings.
Ford & Harrison anticipates that Glass' experience and leadership will be of particular value to companies in industries facing similar restructuring issues (i.e. labor costs, pension restructuring, healthcare management, retiree issues, etc.) to those that were addressed at US Airways.
"Jerry is one of the most highly recognized and respected HR executives in corporate America, clearly demonstrated by his stellar work in the success of US Airlines' restructuring," said C. Lash Harrison, Managing Partner of Ford & Harrison. "We have mandated a vast strategic commitment to expand and grow our consulting services and Jerry is the perfect person to lead that charge. We are very fortunate to have him back aboard and our clients will benefit enormously now that his expertise is available to them."
"Ford & Harrison is one of the preeminent labor and employment law firms," said Glass. "In today's business climate, with many companies being forced to restructure, the firm's consulting services are in high demand. I am looking forward to working closely with my former colleagues and driving this area of the business to new heights."
Messrs. Harrison and Glass are available for interviews to discuss Glass' role at the firm and, more generally, on labor and employment issues in the US market.

Ford & Harrison Launches F&H Solutions Group
Tuesday, May 09, 2006
ATLANTA - Ford & Harrison, a national employment and labor law firm, today announced it has launched a new human resources consulting subsidiary to complement the services of its law practice. F&H Solutions Group will provide comprehensive human resources and labor relations solutions to address business and organizational needs.
F&H Solutions Group will consolidate all of Ford & Harrison’s consultants under one independent, business entity. Jerry Glass, former executive vice president and chief human resources officer for US Airways and, most recently, president of J. Glass & Associates, will lead the consultancy practice. The new firm’s clients include Fortune 500 companies, emerging growth businesses and other entities facing difficult human capital issues.
The consulting firm aims to help businesses and organizations devise solutions to the ever- increasing problems associated with a more complex and competitive marketplace. Globalization, rising oil prices, the turmoil in the Middle East and the restructurings to deal with these developments have strained even the most robust national and international organizations and forced them to adjust their priorities and business models.
“The enormous challenges presented by the current global business environment create complex human resources and labor relations issues, which companies seek our help to address,†explained Glass, who will assume the title of managing partner at the new firm. “Businesses that do not address these challenges will have difficulty surviving in this environment.â€
Specifically, the new firm will provide its clients with assistance in human resources, labor relations, strategic and transition planning, management and non-management recruiting, organizational change and performance management, employee benefits and compensation, wage and hour consulting, corporate and learning development, and employee and crisis communications. In addition, the consulting firm will have a robust specialty in assisting companies with corporate restructurings.
“Ford & Harrison has been in the consultancy industry for years and we have been waiting for the right time to consolidate our talent and expand,†said Lash Harrison, managing partner of Ford & Harrison. “Given the growing complexities of the business world, now is the right time. I am confident that the launching of this group will strengthen our position in the market and enable us to deliver ever-increasing value to new as well as existing clients.â€

Jerry is one of the most highly recognized and respected HR executives in corporate America, clearly demonstrated by his stellar work in the success of US Airlines' restructuring," said C. Lash Harrison, Managing Partner of Ford & Harrison
As I had said at the Labor tables..."if we go down this path whimpering, we will make Jerry Glass King in the industry.
And so it came to be.
My advice to all of labor at U...TELL DOUGIE YOU DON'T WANT HIM AT YOUR TABLE OR NEGOTIATING YOUR CONTRACT. FORD AND HARRISON IS AT THE TABLE AS U'S LEGAL TEAM. For AFA his name is Gabriel and Kevin Kraham who argues the grievances on behalf of U at the sytem board level.
They are everywhere at U like swurming killer bees.
If Jerry's there; tell Dougie "no deal".
