On Wednesday, Jan. 23, the Massachusetts Bar Association's Labor
& Employment Law Section hosted an open meeting featuring
National Labor Relations Board Regional Director Jonathan B.
Kreisberg.
Kreisberg, the head of the recently enlarged NLRB's Region 1,
works with approximately 60 employees and oversees more than 1,300
cases. Focused on consolidating the Hartford and Boston offices
into "one agency," Kreisberg's goals include agency efficiency in
electronic filing/document submission and continued agency outreach
via newsletters highlighting significant local and national
cases.
Attendees also participated in a lively question and answer
session, which included discussion on confidentiality concerns of
employees, declines in union membership, Senate recess appointments
by President Barack Obama and more.
