Trump Taps Chavez-DeRemer for Labor Secretary Role Amid Union Debate

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Republican Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon as his choice for Labor Secretary. Chavez-DeRemer, who recently lost her reelection bid, is expected to lead a more business-friendly Department of Labor under Trump's administration, aligning with his goal of reducing bureaucratic red tape. This nomination follows the tenure of acting Secretary Julie Su under President Biden, and the previous leadership of Marty Walsh and Alexander Acosta during Trump's first term.
