President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Labor, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, faced questions about her stance on workers' rights during her confirmation hearing. Chavez-DeRemer, a former Republican member of Congress, has been described as a friend of organized labor, but concerns were raised about her past support for the PRO Act, a bill aimed at strengthening workers' rights.
During the hearing, Chavez-DeRemer acknowledged the imperfections of the PRO Act but did not explicitly state her current position on the legislation. She emphasized that her role as labor secretary would be to implement President Trump's policy vision and ensure a level playing field for businesses, unions, and workers.
