Senate labor committee Chairman Lamar Alexander has announced that Peter Robb has been confirmed as the National Labor Relation Board’s General Counsel. Chairman Alexander also released the following statement:
“As General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board, Peter Robb will have an opportunity to help restore the labor board to the role of a neutral umpire in labor disputes after years of the board acting more like an advocate for organized labor under the previous administration. Mr. Robb will have the important role of protecting workers’ rights and assisting employers if some of their employees want to form a union. I’m hopeful that he will help bring stability to our nation’s workplaces.”
The Senate labor committee held Mr. Robb’s hearing on October 4 (link here). Read more about Mr. Robb here, and the full press release on Mr. Robb’s confirmation here.
