美国总统拜登任命劳伦-麦克弗兰为全国劳工关系委员会主席

美国总统拜登任命劳伦-麦克弗兰为全国劳工关系委员会主席。McFerran自2014年12月起在该委员会任职。另据新闻报道，拜登解雇了NLRB的总顾问。

麦克弗兰在一份声明中说："我期待着 全国劳工关系委员会 工作的新篇章，加倍努力为该法案的目标服务--'鼓励集体谈判的实践和程序，……保护工人行使充分的结社自由'。"

她的任期将于2024年12月到期。

在担任NLRB之前，McFerran是参议院健康、教育、劳工和养老金委员会的首席劳工顾问。她此前还曾在该委员会担任前爱荷华州参议员汤姆-哈金（Tom Harkin）手下的副参谋长。

NLRB的成员还包括：John Ring（曾任主席）、Marvin Kaplan和William Emanuel。一个董事会成员席位空缺。

去年2月，NLRB曾发布了一项涵盖联合雇佣身份的最终规则，推翻了奥巴马时期NLRB在2015年作出的布朗宁-费里斯裁决。

据Politico报道，拜登还解雇了特朗普任命的NLRB总法律顾问Peter Robb，因为Robb拒绝了辞职的请求。

President Biden named Lauren McFerran as chairman of the National Labor Relations board. McFerran has served on the board since December 2014. Separately, Biden fired the NLRB’s general counsel, according to news reports.

In a statement, McFerran said “I look forward to this new chapter in the board’s work, redoubling our efforts to serve the act’s goals — ‘encouraging the practice and procedure of collective bargaining and … protecting the exercise by workers of full freedom of association.’”

Her term expires in December 2024.

Prior to serving on the NLRB, McFerran was chief labor counsel for the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. She also previously served the committee as deputy staff director under former Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa.

The NLRB also comprises John Ring, who previously served as chairman; Marvin Kaplan; and William Emanuel. One board member seat is vacant.

Last February, the NLRB had released a final rule covering joint employment status, reversing the 2015 Browning-Ferris ruling by the Obama-era NLRB.

Biden also fired NLRB General Counsel Peter Robb, a Trump appointee, after Robb refused a request to resign, Politico reported.

Board Member

Lauren McFerran served as a Member of the NLRB from December 17, 2014 until December 16, 2019. On July 29, 2020, the Senate confirmed her renomination as a Board Member for a term expiring on December 16, 2024.

On January 20, 2021, President Joseph R. Biden named Ms. McFerran Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board.

Previous to her appointment to the NLRB, Ms. McFerran served as Chief Labor Counsel for the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP Committee) and had also served the Committee as Deputy Staff Director under Senator Tom Harkin.  She began on the HELP Committee as Senior Labor Counsel for Senator Ted Kennedy.  Before her work in the United States Senate, Ms. McFerran was an associate at Bredhoff & Kaiser, P.L.L.C. and served as a law clerk for Chief Judge Carolyn Dineen King on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  Ms. McFerran received a B.A. from Rice University and a J.D. from Yale Law School.
