Walsh re-nominated to NLRB
May 05, 2005 by Ross Runkel at LawMemo
The President has re-nominated Dennis P. Walsh to the NLRB. Walsh served as a Member of the National Labor Relations Board from December 30, 2000 to December 20, 2001 under a recess appointment by President Clinton, and again under a regular appointment by President Bush from December 17, 2002 to December 16, 2004.
Walsh is a Democrat, and can be counted on to provide a clear pro-union view on matters of NLRB policy.
An excellent account of Walsh's NLRB record is provided in the Labor Law Blog.
The Board is currently working with only three Members instead of five. The President has also re-nominated Republican Ronald E. Meisburg (See my Meisburg blog [here]) and both nominations are pending confirmation by the Senate.
Walsh was Chief Counsel to Member Wilma B. Liebman, and from 1994 to 1997, he was Chief Counsel to Member Margaret A. Browning.
A native of Oxford, NY, Mr. Walsh was a career NLRB attorney from 1984 to 1989, serving as an attorney-advisor in the Office of Representation Appeals; staff counsel on the staff of Member Patricia Diaz Dennis; staff attorney in the Appellate Court Branch; and field attorney with the NLRB's Philadelphia office (Region 4). From 1989 to 1994, he was an associate at the law firm of Spear, Wilderman, Borish, Endy, Browning and Spear in Philadelphia.
Mr. Walsh is a 1983 cum laude graduate of Cornell Law School, where he was an Editor of the Law Review. He received a B.A. degree, summa cum laude, in Government from Hamilton College in 1976.
Mr. Walsh is married to Barbara A. O'Neill, an attorney. They are the parents of two children: Steven and Rose. The family resides in Olney, Maryland.
