Paul M. Herzog
Résumé
Paul M. Herzog (August 21, 1906 – November 23, 1986) was an American lawyer, educator, civil servant, and university administrator. He was chairman of the United States National Labor Relations Board from 1945 to 1953.
Paul M. Herzog was born in New York City on August 21, 1906, to Mr. and Mrs. Paul Herzog. His father was an attorney in Platzek, Stroock & Herzog, a large and notable New York City law firm.
He obtained his high school diploma from the Lincoln School and his bachelor's degree from Harvard College in 1927. He took a job as an instructor in government and economics in 1928 at the University of Wisconsin and then at Harvard University. He graduated with a law degree from Columbia Law School in 1936.
Herzog left Harvard in 1931. He became the assistant to the secretary of the federal National Labor Board in 1933, but left the agency in 1935. Governor Herbert H. Lehman appointed him to New York's State Labor Relations Board in 1937, and reappointed him in 1939. In 1942, Governor Lehman appointed Herzog to be the chairman of the State Labor Board. During his tenure on the State Labor Board, Herzog upheld the right of New York City school janitors to join labor unions. Herzog quit his post in February 1944 to accept a commission in the United States Navy Reserve.
With World War II ending, President Harry S. Truman appointed Herzog to be chairman of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on June 7, 1945. During his tenure on the NLRB, Herzog became known as one of the nation's foremost experts in labor law and was a swing vote between the board's pro-labor and pro-management members. He provided the critical final vote which gave foremen the right to organize unions, voted to make pensions a subject of mandatory bargaining, agreed that employees who struck for economic reasons were not entitled to vote in decertification elections so long as they remained on strike, and for the first time in NLRB history ruled on the issue of jurisdictional strikes.
