Four lawyers have emerged as the leading candidates to fill an open Democratic seat on the National Labor Relations Board once President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated, according to people familiar with the discussions.
That list includes union-side lawyers, some of whom also could bring diversity to the all-White board: Kent Hirozawa, a former Obama-era board member who practices at Gladstein Reif & Meginniss in New York; Jennifer Abruzzo, a former deputy general counsel at the NLRB who’s a special counsel to the Communication Workers of America; David Prouty, the general counsel for SEIU Local 32BJ; and Gwynne Wilcox, an attorney at Levy Ratner.
