From 1981 to 1985 he practiced labor law in Washington, D.C. William Brock, President Reagan’s Labor Secretary, hired Schlossberg as Deputy Undersecretary for Labor-Management Relations in 1985.
Prior to his work for the UAW, Schlossberg managed a department store in Roanoke, Virginia (1946-50) and worked as an organizer and organizing director for the International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union. Schlossberg later practiced law with the firm Van Arkel and Kaiser in Washington, D.C.
