HEADLINE: BARNETT HOROWITZ APPOINTED RESIDENT OFFICER IN NLRB'S ALBANY, NEW YORK RESIDENT OFFICE

BYLINE: US Fed News

DATELINE: WASHINGTON

BODY:

The National Labor Relations Board issued the following press release:

National Labor Relations Board's General Counsel Ronald Meisburg today announced the appointment of Barnett Horowitz as Resident Officer in the Agency's Albany, NY Resident Office, part of the Buffalo, NY Regional Office (Region 3). In his new position, Mr. Horowitz will assist Regional Director Helen Marsh in enforcing the National Labor Relations Act in all of upstate New York except for Westchester, Dutchess, Putnam and Rockland Counties. The Albany Resident Office primarily serves the population of the eastern portion of New York.

The NLRB administers and enforces the National Labor Relations Act. In enforcing this law, the NLRB conducts secret-ballot elections to determine whether employees desire union representation and investigates, prosecutes and remedies unfair labor practices committed by employers and unions.

In announcing the appointment, General Counsel Meisburg stated:

Barney, in his 31-year career, has distinguished himself by processing a prodigious number of cases, including many of the Region's more challenging and complex assignments. Well regarded by Region 3's community of practitioners, his knowledge of the law and analytical skills, not to mention his enthusiasm, will be a great asset in his new position of Resident Officer.

Mr. Horowitz, a native of Mt. Vernon, NY, began his career with the NLRB in July 1975 as a Field Examiner in the Milwaukee, WI Regional Office (Region 30). He transferred to the Albany Resident Office in 1977. He earned a B.S. degree in Industrial and Labor Relations from Cornell in 1972 and an M.S. in Industrial Relations from the University of Wisconsin in 1975. He is currently vice president of the Capital District Chapter of the Labor and Employment Relations Association.
