Lori Chavez-DeRemer, the pro-union Republican nominated by President Donald Trump for Labor secretary, appeared before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) to address questions regarding her stance on the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act.
Chavez-DeRemer, who previously supported the PRO Act as a representative for Oregon’s 5th congressional district, clarified during the hearing that she no longer endorses the aspect of the PRO Act that would have overturned Right-to-Work laws, a move that could potentially sway some Republican senators who were hesitant about confirming her nomination.
