In 2023, Glenn celebrated his 40^th year as a Foundation staff attorney.  Over the years Glenn has litigated cases for employees under a variety of federal and state labor statutes. This includes cases that challenged union violence, union lawsuits to fine and discipline employees, and union attempts to discharge employees for refusing to pay compulsory union dues under the Railway Labor Act. In more recent decades, Glenn has concentrated on litigation before the National Labor Relations Board, bringing many groundbreaking cases to protect employees’ rights to refrain from paying union dues, to revoke dues checkoff authorizations, and to decertify unpopular unions in the face of bureaucratic “blocking” and “election bar” policies. Glenn has testified before Congress numerous times concerning employee free choice in the workplace and the institutional biases of the National Labor Relations Board.
