U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Friday announced Republican Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon as his pick to serve as the next secretary of the Department of Labor, APA reports citing CNN.
A favorite of Teamsters President Sean O’Brien, Chavez-DeRemer is considered one of the most labor-friendly Republicans in Washington – and one of the few GOP members of Congress to co-sponsor the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, legislation stuck in committee that would gut right-to-work laws in nearly 30 states and make it easier for workers to unionize. Its companion bill in the Senate was introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders, the progressive firebrand from Vermont.
“Lori’s strong support from both the Business and Labor communities will ensure that the Labor Department can unite Americans of all backgrounds behind our Agenda for unprecedented National Success - Making America Richer, Wealthier, Stronger and more Prosperous than ever before!” Trump said in a statement.
