Peter B. Robb was sworn in as General Counsel for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) today for a four year term. He was nominated by President Trump in September and was confirmed by the Senate on November 8.
Mr. Robb stated, “I have always believed in the core values expressed in the National Labor Relations Act, which, in essence, is to protect the rights of employees to engage in union or other protected, concerted activity with respect to wages, hours and working conditions, as well as the rights of employees to refrain from such activities. And, once employees have freely chosen a labor organization to represent them, the Act promotes collective bargaining. These principles are part of the foundation of our successful economic system.”
Prior to his nomination, Mr. Robb worked as a Director for the law firm Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC. He also served on the American Bar Association’s Practice and Procedures Committee for the NLRB.
