Today, National Labor Relations Board Acting General Counsel William B. Cowen announced the selection of Stephanie Cahn to be Acting Deputy General Counsel, effective February 11, 2025.
Ms. Cahn joined the Agency in 1997 and has spent her entire career in NLRB Region 21 (Downtown Los Angeles). She started as a Field Attorney before being promoted to Supervisory Field Attorney in 2013. In 2024 she was promoted again to Regional Attorney. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree from University of California, Irvine and a J.D. from the McGeorge School of law in Sacramento, California.
“Stephanie is an outstanding and committed public servant,” said Acting General Counsel William Cowen. “I expect she will continue to use her considerable talents and expertise in supporting the Agency’s mission and operations.”
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.
