National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Chairman Mark Gaston Pearce and General Counsel Richard F. Griffin, Jr. announced the appointment of career employee Nancy Wilson as Regional Director of the Agency’s Office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Region 6). Ms. Wilson succeeds Robert Chester, who retired last year. In her new position, Ms. Wilson will be responsible for enforcement of one of the nation’s primary labor laws covering private sector employees in western Pennsylvania, counties in northern West Virginia; Garrett and Allegany Counties in Maryland and Highland County in Virginia.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) approved a plan to restructure the territorial coverage for Regional Offices in Buffalo, New York (Region 3) and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Region 6).  Under the approved plan, Regions 3 and 6 will retain their full regional status.  In reaching this decision, the Agency evaluated feedback from the public, members of Congress, and NLRB staff.  The approved plan reflects the Agency’s need to balance its practical operational concerns with the need for the NLRB to enter its 80th year servicing this country as the strong and accessible presence envision
