BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

James Gross (1933-) was raised near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He graduated from La Salle University with a Bachelor of Science in 1956. Gross received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin in 1962.
He taught as an assistant professor at Holy Cross College from 1960 to 1966 before joining the faculty at Cornell. He was named an associate professor in 1968 and a full professor in 1975.
Gross's three-volume history of the National Labor Relations Board has been called both authoritative and exhaustive.

He is a member of the National Academy of Arbitrators, the American Arbitration Associaiton, and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
Gross received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and in 2007 was Fulbright Visiting Research Chair in Corporate Social Responsibility at McGill University in Canada.

ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY

NLRB 1935-2010
The National Labor Relations Board is proud of its 75-year history of enforcing the National Labor Relations Act, the primary law governing relations between employers and employees in the private sector. On July 5, 1935, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Act into law, stating that the law sought to achieve "common justice and economic advance." Starting in the Great Depression and continuing through World War II and the economic growth and challenges that followed, the NLRB has worked to guarantee the rights of employees to bargain collectively, if they choose to do so.
