Linda Puchala is an American government official who has served as a member of the National Mediation Board (NMB) since 2009. First appointed to the NMB by President Barack Obama, she was confirmed by the United States Senate on May 21, 2009. Puchala was confirmed to a second term on the NMB in August 2013. In September 2017, President Donald Trump nominated her for an additional term on the NMB.[1] She was confirmed by the U.S. Senate for her third term on November 2, 2017.[2] Prior to becoming a member of the NMB, Puchala served as the agency's senior mediator from 1999 to 2009. She was the international president of the Association of Flight Attendants from 1979 to 1986.[3]
Puchala served on President Barack Obama's transition team and he nominated her for the National Mediation Board in 2009.[4] Her past with unions was noted as a positive given the pending contract negotiations between airlines and their unions, and the potential for conflict during the negotiations.[5]
She help negotiate contracts between labor unions and multiple companies including UPS,[6] US Airways,[7] and United Airlines.[8]
