Byron Andrus is a staff attorney at the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, where he primarily represents private sector employees in National Labor Relations Board proceedings. He is licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia.

Byron has successfully assisted numerous employees in combating compulsory unionism abuses via the filing of unfair labor practice charges with the NLRB. Among other things, Byron assisted an Indiana construction worker in litigation that concerned his termination over a dispute regarding the payment of union dues in Industrial Contractors Skanska, Inc., 362 NLRB 1396 (2015).

Byron also often represents and advises employees who seek decertification elections to remove unwanted unions from their workplace and employees who seek deauthorization elections to remove forced dues requirements. In Latrobe Specialty Metals Company, LLC (06-RD-300470), Byron helped an employee at a steel factory in Pennsylvania overcome union attempts to deprive her and her coworkers of their right to vote on union representation. That employee later received the Foundation’s John Seely Memorial Award for her courageous efforts to vindicate employee free choice in the workplace in the face of staunch opposition. Byron also provided legal guidance to a group of nurses at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota in their successful effort to oust the Minnesota Nurses Association.

Byron earned his undergraduate degree summa cum laude from Louisiana State University and his law degree from the George Mason University School of Law (now known as the Antonin Scalia Law School).
