As a traditional labor and employment attorney, has been on the front lines of assisting clients in numerous issues before federal and state courts, private arbitration, and before government administrative law judges.

In 2015, he spearheaded an investigation into the Regional Director of the National Labor Relations Board that resulted in an Inspector General investigation and ultimate suspension of the director for illegal conflicts of interest.

In this episode of Labor Relations Radio, in addition to a number of other labor and political issues discussed, Zimolong discusses the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency ruling and whether or not it may put a damper on the NLRB’s decision-making abilities, as has been suggested, as well as the more-likely impact of next year’s SCOTUS decision in Cochran v. SEC.
