Biography

Ring received his Bachelor of Arts and Juris Doctor from the Catholic University of America. He spent his whole career at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, starting as an associate in 1988 and becoming a partner in 1999. He managed the firm's labor and management relations practice defending corporate interests in union environments.[1] He has represented employers in unfair labor practice proceedings before the NLRB and served as counsel to the National Master Freight Agreement.[4]

According to Bloomberg BNA, "President Donald Trump's appointees will control the National Labor Relations Board in 2018, and observers expect major changes in the agency’s philosophy and direction."[5] According to The National Law Journal, "If confirmed, Ring would help the NLRB overturn policies criticized by the business community during the Obama administration."[4] Ring's nomination was confirmed on April 11, 2018 by a vote of 50–48.[6] He was sworn in on April 16, 2018, and served until December 16, 2022, when his term ended.[7]
