Remembering Bob Battista, Former Chairman of the NLRB

December 20, 2023 With great sorrow, we acknowledge the passing of our former colleague, Robert (Bob) Battista. Chairman Battista enjoyed a long and illustrious career in labor law, and served in many roles throughout his career that reflected his commitment to public service. He was appointed by President George W. Bush to the National Labor Relations Board and served as Chairman from 2002-2007. “We are deeply saddened by the news of Bob’s death,” said Chairman Lauren McFerran. “We extend our deepest sympathies to his family. His legacy of service to the Agency will always be remembered.” Bob is survived by his wife, children, granddaughter, and mother-in-law.
