Trump's Labor Secretary Nominee Draws Criticism From Both Sides

Lori Chavez-DeRemer, a Republican with pro-union stances, faces skepticism from business groups and conservative lawmakers over her nomination.

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated outgoing Republican Representative Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon as Secretary of Labor.
Chavez-DeRemer has supported union-friendly legislation, including the PRO Act and the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act, which are opposed by many conservatives and business groups.
Some Senate Republicans have expressed concerns about her nomination, while a few Senate Democrats, including Elizabeth Warren, have signaled potential support.
Labor unions, such as the AFL-CIO and the American Federation of Teachers, have praised her pro-worker record but await clarity on her approach under a Trump administration.
Trump has framed Chavez-DeRemer as a bridge between business and labor, emphasizing her potential to foster cooperation and improve conditions for American workers.
