Episode 343: Trump's Labor Mistake

Dec 6, 2024
26:57
Donald Trump has made quick work of nominating potential cabinet members, and many of those picks – while controversial – are being met with nods – albeit sometimes lukewarm nods -- by both conservative voters and Republican legislators.One pick, however, stands out as being not only controversial but downright anti-conservative. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Trump’s choice for Secretary of Labor, is a nominal Republican but supports legislation like the pro-unionboss PRO Act, and during her single term in Congress, co-sponsored the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act, which National Review recently argued “would force the blue-state model of government unions onto red states.”Here to discuss this confusing nomination, why Trump may have chosen her, and what her chances are for confirmation are my colleague and labor expert Mike Watson and Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Committee.
