Nomination of Moshe Z. Marvit
Mr. SANDERS. Madam President, I support the nomination of Moshe
Marvit to be a Member of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review
Commission.
Mr. Marvit is currently a supervisory attorney-advisor in the
Commission's Pittsburgh field office, where he has served since 2012.
In this role, he writes decisions for administrative law judges and
mediates cases between mine operators and the Mine Safety and Health
Administration.
Prior to working at the Commission, Mr. Marvit was in private
practice where he represented the United Steelworkers and employees in
pension and discrimination matters. Mr. Marvit has written extensively
on labor law, including co-authoring a book titled ``Why Labor
Organizing Should Be a Civil Right,'' which explains the historical
importance of the American labor movement, provides data on how current
law fails to deter employer abuses, and compares U.S. labor protections
to those of other developed nations.
Mr. Marvit has a B.A. in philosophy from the Pennsylvania State
University, an M.A. in political science from the University of
Chicago, an M.A. in history from Carnegie Mellon University, and a J.D.
from the Chicago-Kent College of Law.
Mr. Marvit is a well-qualified nominee strongly supported by the
United Mine Workers of America and the United Steelworkers, and I urge
my colleagues to support his nomination.
