More about Jack Tuckner
Jack Tuckner, Esq. is a leading women’s rights attorney and a founding partner of Tuckner, Sipser, Weinstock & Sipser, LLP.  His New York City law firm, a Plaintiff’s employment law practice, has grown into one of the most respected and active women’s rights legal practices in the nation, where he has established a reputation for legal activism and the pursuit of justice for all women.  Jack Tuckner is committed to the ongoing struggle for workplace equality and his firm provides vital advocacy for those who have been undermined and marginalized by unjust employment policies.  The firm specializes in the representation of women who have been denied their rights and/or victimized in the workplace as a result of their status as women.

Jack Tuckner graduated cum laude from Hunter College in 1984, before earning his Juris Doctor degree in 1987 from the City University of New York Law School at Queens College, a public interest school dedicated to “law in the service of human needs.”  Jack Tuckner took this mandate to heart and dedicated his entire career to civil rights law and the representation of individuals in need.  He commenced his law practice as a public defender in the Bronx, where he successfully tried numerous cases to verdict as a senior trial attorney.  Then, he founded Jack Bryant Tuckner & Associates in 1992, where his decidedly “holistic” practice began concentrating in the arena of women’s rights law.  In 2001, he co-founded Tuckner, Sipser, Weinstock & Sipser, LLP, the only women’s rights in the workplace litigation boutique in the nation.

Jack Tuckner has served as an advocate and commentator for women’s discrimination issues across the media spectrum, including on NBC’s Nightly News with Brian Williams, CW11, NY1 News, 1010Wins, FOX and National Public Radio, as well as The New York Times, Wall Street Journal online, New York Daily News, and at numerous civic and grass roots community meetings and seminars in the tri-state area.  He has also spoken regarding Gender Pay Disparity at the American Association of University Women, and he is a frequent public speaker regarding Domestic Violence and Working Women, at an array of public and private forums, including the New York State Bar Association’s annual conference in Saratoga, NY, and at Liz Claiborne’s “Time to Talk about Domestic Violence,” her annual day of group activism and national radio interviews with domestic violence experts.

More about Women's Rights In The Workplace Advocacy
Women's Rights in the Workplace Advocacy is a group of lawyers who champion the rights of women against the discriminatory practices of employers ranging from the dwindling tiny independent company to the massively large corporate behemoth, where the majority of working women toil today, given the expansion of the government and work force into a veritable Corporatocracy.  Fewer corporations than ever before now control more of them and the goods, services and information they rely upon (6 large corporations have taken over virtually all 6000 television stations in this country and almost all 15,000 radio stations and 80% of the newspapers).  Their only obligation is to their shareholders.

Women's Rights in the Workplace Advocacy is dedicated to assisting and empowering working women with the struggles of true gender-blind equality in the terms and conditions of work that is only related to the value each individual woman adds to her work environment.
