Donald Trump has assembled an All-Star team for his cabinet so far.
But the Left is trying to sneak a plant into his administration.
And Democrats are trying to sneak one awful nominee into Donald Trump’s cabinet.
Union Bosses look to run Trump’s Labor Department with cabinet nominee
President Donald Trump nominated little-known former Representative Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR) to serve as his Secretary of Labor.
Chavez-DeRemer served a single term in the House after losing in the 2024 Election.
But she racked up one of the worst records of any Republican in decades on union issues.
Chavez-DeRemer supported giving more to the Union Bosses and their allies in the Democrat Party.
She was one of the few House Republicans who co-sponsored the so-called ProAct.
The ProAct is a grab bag of every bad idea Big Labor has had for the last 50 years.
It would take money and power from workers and put it in the hands of Union Bosses.
The bill would wipe out every state’s Right to Work law, which lets workers choose if they want to pay unions.
It would also eliminate independent contractors and the gig economy by forcing them to be employees so it would be easier to unionize them and take away the secret ballot from union elections to make it easier for the Union Bosses to win.
Union Bosses have ripped money out of the paychecks of their members’ paychecks in the form of forced union dues to back Democrats up and down the ballot every election cycle.
That’s why former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), former Vice President Kamala Harris, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) all supported the ProAct.
Chavez-DeRemer also backed the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act, which would unionize every state and local government employee in the country.
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and American Federation of Teachers head Randi Weingarten praised the Chavez-DeRemer nomination.
“You already see the anti-labor people in the Republican Party trying to mount a case against her,” Weingarten said. “I thought it was important for those of us who believe in labor rights and worker empowerment to stand up and say that that this was unconventional and a positive appointment.”
Randi Weingarten and the teachers’ union backing a nominee is a warning sign flashing red.
Chavez-DeRemer was also one of the few Republicans who voted against banning taxpayer funding for abortion.
Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s nomination can be killed in a Senate committee
Chavez-DeRemer has to make it through the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee before she moves on to the full Senate for a vote.
U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) – the lead sponsor of the National Right to Work Act – announced that he would vote against Chavez-DeRemer’s nomination.
Eight of the 12 Republicans on the HELP Committee represent Right to Work states that Chavez-DeRemer wanted to wipe out with the ProAct.
“You can do the numbers,” HELP Committee chair Bill Cassidy (R-LA) told Semafor. “We need a majority. We need somebody else to vote if Rand’s going to vote negative . . . Rand is a chair of the right-to-work caucus. So once he establishes something, it’s hard to move him off.”
If more Senate Republicans vote against Chavez-DeRemer, it could kill her nomination.
They need to hear from conservatives who are opposed to Chavez-DeRemer’s nomination before the hearing tomorrow:
