Prior to joining USF, Crivelli spent over 30 years as a labor and employment attorney, arbitrator, and mediator, resolving complex workplace, collective bargaining, and civil disputes across the public and private sectors. He has negotiated over 150 collective bargaining agreements, litigated over 35 public-sector compulsory-interest arbitration cases to award, and litigated and adjudicated countless contractual grievance arbitration disputes.
