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.

"UPS-Teamsters Talks Collapse, Looming Strike Threatens Supply Chains"

Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Julie Su stated that she does not currently see a need to intervene in the contract talks between the Teamsters Union and United Parcel Service (UPS). The Teamsters accused UPS of walking away from negotiations, while the company denied this and accused the union of halting negotiations. The White House remains in contact with both sides and is optimistic about reaching an agreement. If talks fail, UPS workers have authorized a strike, which would be their first since 1997. Both parties aim to avoid a strike that could disrupt millions of daily deliveries.
