Professor Torrey also has an extensive background in public and private sector labor law. She has served as a hearing officer, mediator, and attorney at the Iowa Public Employment Relations Board and has practiced labor law and litigation at the Chicago firm of Vedder Price Kaufman & Kammholz before becoming a trial attorney at United Airlines.
