Trump Nominates Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Labor Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Oregon Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer as labor secretary, highlighting her bipartisan support from business and labor communities. Chavez-DeRemer, a pro-union Republican, has backed the PRO Act, which aims to strengthen union organizing. Her nomination comes amid legal challenges to Biden-era labor rules, with expectations that the Trump administration may roll back or not defend these regulations. Union leaders, like Teamsters President Sean O'Brien, have expressed willingness to work with her, despite Trump's mixed signals on labor issues.
