Today, the National Labor Relations Board General Counsel Jennifer A. Abruzzo announced the appointment of Peter Sung Ohr as the Associate General Counsel of the Division of Enforcement Litigation.
Since July 2021, Mr. Ohr has served as Deputy General Counsel. Prior to that, he served as Acting General Counsel from January to July 2021. Mr. Ohr was appointed Regional Director of the Chicago Regional Office (Region 13) in 2011. He began his career with the NLRB in the Honolulu Sub-regional Office as a Field Attorney, where he worked from 1997 until 2005. In 2005, he was appointed Deputy Assistant General Counsel in the NLRB’s Division of Operations-Management.
Born in Seoul, Korea, Mr. Ohr received his B.A. degree from the University of California-Riverside in 1989. He was awarded his J.D. degree from Pepperdine School of Law in 1994 and a M.B.A. from Hawaii Pacific University in 2000.
“Peter is an exemplary career public servant,” said General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo. “In his new role, he will continue to use his vast knowledge and experience to serve the Agency with distinction and fully effectuate the mission of the National Labor Relations Act.”
Established in 1935, the National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency that protects employees 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.
