The United Steelworkers (USW) has announced the appointment of veteran labor attorney Richard J. Brean as the union’s General Counsel. Brean, 60, of Pittsburgh, succeeds General Counsel Paul Whitehead. Brean, previously Senior Associate General Counsel, will be responsible for the legal affairs of the largest industrial union in North America. Brean, the union’s eighth general counsel in 66 years, will direct the legal department, oversee the work of outside law firms and work with management counterparts. Over the years, Brean has helped to redirect a large part of the union’s legal resources from simply defending the union in court cases to affirmatively asserting the union’s rights under the National Labor Relations Act. His predecessors include Arthur Goldberg, a former Supreme Court Justice who was Secretary of Labor under President John F. Kennedy.
