In 1998, Faircloth was retained by Republican [[Mayor]]-elect [[Leo Deslatte]] of Pineville and three incoming members of the Pineville City Council, Joe Bishop, Carol Jeukens Cunningham, and [[Clarence  Fields]],  to obtain in the Louisiana 9th Judicial District Court in Alexandria a temporary restraining order against lame duck Mayor [[Fred Baden]] and three defeated council members, regarding efforts to [[Organized labor|unionize]] Pineville municipal employees. Just prior to his defeat by Deslatte in a bitter [[general election]] campaign, Baden met with a representative of the [[American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees]] and committed to a [[collective bargaining]] agreement between the union and city employees which he wanted formulated before he left office. Never before had Baden encouraged union activity. This time he did so during business hours at City Hall. The court ordered that Baden and three defeated city council members, Charles O'Banion, [[George  Hearn]], and Lemon "Billy" Coleman, Jr. (1935-2015), the first African American to have served on the city council, must halt their efforts for unionization.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scribd.com/doc/74276370/pineville-mayor-elect-leo-deslatte-et-al-vs-mayor-fred-baden-et-al-1998|title=​
