Dear Chairman Alexander and Ranking Member Murray,
This week, your committee will vote on Peter Robb’s nomination to become the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) next general counsel. On behalf of the Workforce Fairness Institute, an organization devoted to educating workers, their employers, employees and citizens about issues affecting the workplace, I strongly encourage your committee to support his nomination and make way for a confirmation vote on the Senate floor.
Robb will finally bring the leadership and experience necessary to restore balance to the Board, which, under Richard Griffin, became little more than a vehicle to advance Big Labor’s agenda. Robb is an accomplished and experienced attorney with decades of labor law experience at a well-respected firm. He has previously served as a staff attorney to the NLRB and his track record demonstrates a fierce commitment to the law which has been completely absent in recent years.
During the Obama Administration, the NLRB put forward policy after policy that diminished the freedoms of workers across the country and rewarded union bosses. With Robb’s nomination, the general counsel’s office will be led by someone who is committed to the rule of law.
By moving Peter Robb’s nomination to the Senate floor, your committee demonstrates its dedication to restoring balance at the NLRB.
Sincerely,
Heather Greenaway
