Mr. Raudabaugh, who joins Nixon Peabody from Baker & McKenzie, previously served for four years as member for the U.S. National Labor Relations Board.  A presidential nominee, Mr. Raudabaugh, decided more than 4,000 federal labor law representation and unfair labor practice cases.  In addition to his substantive experience in labor and employee relations law and related litigation, Mr. Raudabaugh is well-versed in labor considerations in corporate transactions, responding to union corporate campaigns, strikes, and injunction proceedings, collective bargaining negotiations, social responsibility, compliance, and comparative international law standards.

“John brings years of experience providing counsel to multinational corporations in complex labor and employee relations matters and related litigation,” said Jeffrey Tanenbaum, leader of the firm’s Labor and Employment practice.  “Given John’s experience at the U.S. National Labor Relations Board, he is well-versed in helping our clients find the most efficient means possible to reach a positive outcome for their most difficult legal challenges.”

Mr. Raudabaugh received his J.D. from the University of Virginia.  He earned a master’s degree in labor economics from Cornell University’s School of Industrial & Labor Relations and his bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Finance and Commerce. Additionally, he served as an officer in the U.S. Navy for four years. 

In 2009, Mr. Raudabaugh represented U.S. employers at the International Labour Conference, 98th Session, addressing the global jobs crisis and co-chaired a team of attorneys on behalf of the United Nations Development Programme addressing the elimination of the worst forms of child and forced labor through access to justice, remediation, and employment and labor rights. He has participated in labor and employment law missions to China, Chile, and Eritrea on behalf of the U.S. departments of Labor and State and has served as an adjunct professor of labor law at Northwestern University, University of Chicago, and Emory University law schools.
