2 min read
President-elect Donald Trump nominated outgoing Oregon U.S. Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer as his pick to serve as U.S. Labor Secretary.
“Lori has worked tirelessly with both Business and Labor to build America’s workforce, and support the hardworking men and women of America. I look forward to working with her to create tremendous opportunity for American Workers, to expand Training and Apprenticeships, to grow wages and improve working conditions, to bring back our Manufacturing jobs. Together, we will achieve historic cooperation between Business and Labor that will restore the American Dream for Working Families,” Trump wrote, in part, in a statement on DeRemer’s nomination.
Trump has promised to bring manufacturing back to the states and even floated the idea of ending taxes on tips and overtime.
"It’s something of a surprise. She doesn’t really have an expertise in big business, don’t really an expertise with unions, except kind of a sidelight," political science professor Jim Moore told KATU.
The U.S. Labor Secretary is responsible for enforcing and suggesting laws involving labor unions, the workplace, and issues relating to business-employee relationships.
