Trump Selects Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Labor Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated outgoing Oregon U.S. Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer as U.S. Labor Secretary. Despite lacking extensive experience in big business or unions, her ties with the Teamsters Union are seen as significant, especially since the union did not support Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Chavez-DeRemer, who lost her reelection bid, will not affect the Republican majority in the House. Her nomination is viewed as a strategic move to strengthen ties with labor groups and enhance opportunities for American workers.

"Anheuser-Busch and Teamsters Reach Tentative Deal, Averting Potential Strike"

Anheuser-Busch and the Teamsters union have reached a tentative contract agreement, averting a strike of 5,000 union members. The deal includes an immediate $4 an hour raise and an $8 an hour increase over the life of the contract, raising pay by an average of 23%. It also provides job security, a $2,500 signing bonus, increased vacation accrual, and restoration of retirement benefits.

"Teamsters' PAC Makes Rare $45,000 Donation to RNC"

The Teamsters union's political action committee made a $45,000 donation to the Republican National Committee's convention fund in January, marking its first significant contribution to the RNC in years. While the union's donations typically lean towards Democrats, this donation comes amidst the union's yet-to-be-announced endorsement for the 2024 presidential race. President Joe Biden, who received the union's backing in 2020, has been a vocal advocate for unions, securing endorsements from organizations like the United Auto Workers. The RNC official stated that they have not received the contribution, and the Trump campaign did not respond to requests for comment.
