Biography

Wilma Beth Liebman is an Adjunct Professor at New York University School of Law and a former Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). She teaches Labor Law, focusing on the law governing private sector labor-management relations, including workers’ concerted actions and union organizing. Her courses emphasize the primary role of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the NLRB in resolving disputes regarding employee representation and adjudicating unfair labor practices. Professor Liebman's lectures cover the NLRA's resistance to legislative change, the preemption of state and local labor law, and the embattled status of the NLRB as an independent agency. She surveys the contemporary labor law landscape, including the surge in worker activism and union organizing, and the changing nature of work, while also exploring alternative models of worker collective action and providing comparative labor law perspectives.
