                     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.
