Last month President Biden nominated lifelong champion of labor and workers’ rights, California Labor Secretary Julie Su, to be U.S. Deputy Secretary of Labor and longtime Union leader, Boston Mayor Marty J. Walsh, to be U.S. Labor Secretary. Their nominations come at a time of great need for bold leadership in the agency responsible for overseeing the recovery of the country’s economy and labor force during a devastating period filled with economic downfall and overwhelming loss of lives since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The nomination of Julie Su to the Deputy Labor Secretary role is critical for working families across the nation. Su has decades of experience combating wage theft, tackling worker misclassification and abuses in the underground economy, investing in worker training and pathways to quality jobs for all workers, and leveling the playing field for businesses. In addition to Julie’s groundbreaking nomination, if confirmed, Marty Walsh would become the first union leader to head the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) in almost 50 years. Showing strong support behind these nominations will be essential to make confirming Walsh and Su as Secretary of Labor and Deputy Secretary of Labor, respectively, a reality.
We need to show support for Julie Su and fight back against attacks from her opposition. We are including a toolkit you can use to help amplify the call for her confirmation #ConfirmJulie4DOL
