Chairman Battista Appoints Harold Datz As His Chief Counsel And Kathleen Nixon As Deputy Chief Counsel
National Labor Relations Board Chairman Robert J. Battista has selected career attorneys Harold J. Datz and Kathleen Nixon as his Chief Counsel and Deputy Chief Counsel, respectively. They supervise the Chairman's professional staff.
Mr. Datz is one of the agency's most accomplished senior attorneys, having served as Chief Counsel for the former Chairman and two other former Board Members. He also previously headed the General Counsel's Division of Advice. He joined the NLRB legal staff in Washington, D.C. in 1965 in what was then the Regional Advice Branch. Two years later he transferred to the Pittsburgh, PA Regional Office (Region 6) as a Trial Attorney. He returned to the Advice Branch as a Supervisory Attorney in 1970.
In 1971, Mr. Datz was appointed Deputy Assistant General Counsel in the Division of Operations-Management, with supervisory responsibility for seven regional offices. In 1972, he was promoted to Deputy Associate General Counsel in the Division of Advice and from 1976-1990 served as head of the Division, which provides legal advice on behalf of the General Counsel to NLRB's Regional Directors in cases involving novel and complex issues. Subsequently, Mr. Datz served as Chief Counsel to Members John N. Raudabaugh (1990-1994), Charles I. Cohen (1994-1996), and Peter J. Hurtgen (1997-2002). Mr. Hurtgen was Chairman from 2001 to 2002.
Ms. Nixon began her career at the Board in 1978, in the Minneapolis, MN Regional Office (Region 18). She left the NLRB in 1980 for the private practice of labor law. Following her return to the agency in 1982, Ms. Nixon worked in the Division of Advice. In 1986, she transferred to the Board side of the agency where she successively served as legal assistant, supervisor, and Executive Assistant to Chairman Hurtgen.
There are laws about missed days and injury pay claims at your employment place
By law, you must be unable to work for seven days (including weekends and holidays) before you are eligible for temporary disability benefits. Benefits are retroactive to the first day. The seven days need not be consecutive. Please note that there is no similar waiting period to receive medical benefits or permanent disability benefits. Those benefits are due, if warranted, regardless of the number of lost workdays.
