Today a Senate Committee voted to advance former Oregon Representative Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Trump’s controversial pick for Labor Secretary, to a full floor vote, so Americans would do well to begin preparing for an impending onslaught of labor-related news, especially since, as my colleague Mike Watson will likely make clear in this episode, the new courtship of Big Labor coming from the right made the unlikely pick of Chavez-DeRemer a possibility. Adding to the drama was the no vote from Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who, not coincidentally, earlier in February introduced the National Right to Work Act, a conservative-backed bill that among other things, makes paying union dues voluntary. Joining us to discuss that development, and his organization’s work on the act itself, is Jace White, Director of Federal Affairs at the National Right to Work Committee.
