Julie Kaufman Named Regional Attorney in NLRB Region 22-Newark

Today, National Labor Relations Board General Counsel Jennifer A. Abruzzo announced the appointment of Julie Kaufman as the Regional Attorney of the NLRB Region 22-Newark, New Jersey. In her new position, Ms. Kaufman will assist Regional Director Suzanne Sullivan in the administration and enforcement of the National Labor Relations Act in parts of New Jersey.

Originally from Glen Cove, New York, Ms. Kaufman graduated in 1985 from Vassar College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Economics and History.

Established in 1935, the National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency that protects employees, employers, and unions from unfair labor practices and protects the right of private sector employees to join together, with or without a union, to improve wages, benefits and working conditions. The NLRB conducts hundreds of workplace elections and investigates thousands of unfair labor practice charges each year. Region 22 serves areas in New Jersey from its Regional Office in Newark.
