National Labor Relations Board Chairman Mark Gaston Pearce and General Counsel Richard F. Griffin, Jr. have announced the appointment of Nathaniel E. Strickler as Officer-in-Charge of the Agency's Subregional office in Peoria, Illinois (Subregion 33). In his new position, Mr. Strickler will assist Rik Lineback, Regional Director of the NLRB’s Indianapolis, IN office (Region 25),  in enforcing the National Labor Relations Act in Indiana,  and parts of Kentucky, northern Illinois and Iowa along the Mississippi River. 
Mr. Strickler received his B.A. in Sociology/Anthropology from The College of Wooster in 2000 and his J.D. from Southern Illinois University in 2006.   In 2009, after three years in private practice, he joined the NLRB as a field attorney. 
The NLRB is an independent federal agency enforcing the National Labor Relations Act, which guarantees the right of most private sector employees to engage in group efforts to improve their wages and working conditions, to engage in collective bargaining, and to refrain from any of these activities.
