Labor Standards Director Arthur Rosenfeld has succumbed to pancreatic cancer after a six-month battle. His death on May 16 marked the end of a prominent career that began in 1979 when he first worked as a U.S. Chamber of Commerce labor attorney. Rosenfeld, who also served under George W. Bush as general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board and as director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, came out of retirement in 2017 at the personal request of former-Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta.
Rosenfeld worked as Director for the Department of Labor until the week before his death. It is unknown at this point who will succeed him in his position.
