  • Headline: "Labor Secretary Chavez-DeRemer Backs Trump Policies, Raises Concerns over Transparency"

    Headline: "Labor Secretary Chavez-DeRemer Backs Trump Policies, Raises Concerns over Transparency"
    2025/05/15
    U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer has recently made headlines with several notable actions and statements. On May 2, 2025, she issued a statement regarding the April 2025 Employment Situation Report, addressing the current state of the American job market. On the same day, she publicly praised President Trump's America First budget proposal, emphasizing the administration's commitment to prioritizing American workers.

    In a more controversial development, Secretary Chavez-DeRemer's department issued a memo to staff members on May 13, 2025, warning of potential criminal charges for employees who speak to journalists without authorization. The memo, sent by her chief of staff Jihun Han, stated that "individuals who disclose confidential information or engage in unauthorized communications with the media may face serious legal consequences." These consequences could include "potential criminal penalties" and "immediate disciplinary actions, up to and including termination." This directive has raised concerns about transparency within the department and has been characterized by some employees as creating a "constant state of being terrorized."

    The Labor Department, under Chavez-DeRemer's leadership, has also been actively promoting the administration's manufacturing policy. Just yesterday, on May 14, 2025, the department highlighted on social media that "More manufacturing jobs are coming back to the United States thanks to @POTUS putting America First."

    Chavez-DeRemer, who was confirmed as Labor Secretary on March 10, 2025, in a bipartisan vote of 67-32, brings a unique background to her role. A Central Valley native from California and graduate of Hanford High School and Fresno State, she previously served one term as a Republican congresswoman from Oregon, making history as the first Republican woman elected to represent that state in Congress.

    Her confirmation was notable for crossing traditional party lines, with 17 Democrats supporting her nomination while three Republicans opposed it. Her relatively favorable rapport with unions and past support for pro-labor legislation, including the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act), distinguished her from typical Republican nominees for the position.

    As Labor Secretary, Chavez-DeRemer oversees a department with nearly 16,000 full-time employees and a proposed budget of $13.9 billion for fiscal year 2025. Her responsibilities include reporting the U.S. unemployment rate, regulating workplace safety standards, investigating wage disputes, and enforcing laws on union organizing and unlawful terminations.

    During her confirmation hearing, Chavez-DeRemer committed to implementing President Trump's policy vision while acknowledging the need to review visa caps for foreign workers as part of the administration's focus on supporting American workers in the context of immigration policy.

  • "U.S. Labor Secretary Chavez-DeRemer Endorses Trump's 'America First' Budget Proposal"

    "U.S. Labor Secretary Chavez-DeRemer Endorses Trump's 'America First' Budget Proposal"
    2025/05/13
    U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer has publicly praised President Trump's America First budget proposal, issuing a statement from Washington earlier this month. The Secretary's endorsement comes as the administration continues to implement its economic agenda focused on American workers.

    Chavez-DeRemer, who was confirmed by the Senate on March 10, 2025, with notable bipartisan support in a 67-32 vote, has quickly established herself as a key figure in the Trump administration. Her confirmation received support from 17 Democrats while three Republicans opposed her nomination, reflecting her reputation as a moderate on labor issues.

    Prior to her appointment, Chavez-DeRemer served as a Republican congresswoman representing Oregon's 5th District and was a member of the House Education and Workforce Committee. Her background includes service as the mayor of Happy Valley, Oregon, and membership in various congressional caucuses including the Republican Main Street Partnership and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

    The Secretary now oversees a department with nearly 16,000 full-time employees and a proposed budget of $13.9 billion for fiscal year 2025. Her responsibilities include regulating workplace safety standards, investigating wage disputes, and enforcing laws on union organizing.

    Chavez-DeRemer faces significant challenges in her role, particularly regarding the administration's efforts to reduce the federal workforce. Her department is among those named in lawsuits challenging the authority of billionaire Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to order layoffs and access sensitive government data.

    During her confirmation hearing, Chavez-DeRemer indicated she would examine DOGE operations within the Labor Department. She also expressed support for Registered Apprenticeship Programs and the reauthorization of the Workforce Opportunity and Innovation Act.

    The Secretary's previous support for the PRO Act, which would have strengthened workers' rights to organize, caused some hesitation among Republican senators during her confirmation process. However, she has aligned herself with the administration's immigration stance, stating, "The mass immigration we've seen over the last four years has hurt the American worker, and we want to make sure we're supporting President Trump in his endeavor to support the American worker at all costs."

    A California native and graduate of both Hanford High School and Fresno State, Chavez-DeRemer brings her Valley background to Washington. After her confirmation, she posted on social media that she was "deeply honored" to serve in this position.

    As the nation's 30th Secretary of Labor, Chavez-DeRemer will play a crucial role in shaping labor policies during a period of significant economic and workplace transformation in America.

  • Labor Secretary Chavez-DeRemer Praises Trump's "America First" Budget, Addresses Job Trends

    Labor Secretary Chavez-DeRemer Praises Trump's "America First" Budget, Addresses Job Trends
    2025/05/11
    U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer issued a statement on May 2, 2025, regarding the April 2025 Employment Situation Report, addressing the latest job figures and employment trends across the nation. On the same day, she also expressed strong support for President Trump's America First budget proposal, highlighting how the administration's economic policies align with her department's priorities.

    Chavez-DeRemer is relatively new to her cabinet position, having been confirmed by the Senate on March 10, 2025, with a bipartisan vote of 67-32. Her confirmation received support from 17 Democrats who crossed party lines, while three Republican senators—Mitch McConnell, Ted Budd, and Rand Paul—voted against her nomination.

    Before joining President Trump's cabinet, Chavez-DeRemer served one term in the U.S. House of Representatives for Oregon's 5th Congressional District. She lost her reelection bid to Democrat Janelle Bynum in November 2024, after which President Trump nominated her for the Labor Secretary position.

    Her appointment was seen as a nod to labor support Trump received during his campaign, particularly from the Teamsters union. Chavez-DeRemer has a somewhat unconventional record for a Republican appointee, having previously co-sponsored the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, which would have strengthened workers' rights to unionize.

    During her confirmation hearing in February 2025, she addressed concerns about her previous pro-labor stances, calling the PRO Act "imperfect" while expressing support for right-to-work laws. She also indicated support for Registered Apprenticeship Programs and reauthorization of the Workforce Opportunity and Innovation Act.

    As Labor Secretary, Chavez-DeRemer oversees a department with nearly 16,000 employees and a proposed budget of $13.9 billion for fiscal year 2025. Her responsibilities include reporting unemployment rates, regulating workplace safety standards, investigating wage disputes, and enforcing laws on union organizing.

    Chavez-DeRemer faces significant challenges in her role, including ongoing lawsuits challenging the authority of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been operating within the Department of Labor. During her confirmation hearing, she promised to examine these efforts further once confirmed.

    The Secretary's background includes service on several House committees during her congressional tenure, including the Education and Workforce Committee, Agriculture Committee, and Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. She was also a member of the Republican Main Street Partnership and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

    Upon her confirmation, Chavez-DeRemer stated she was "deeply honored" and promised to "work tirelessly to put American Workers First by fighting for good-paying jobs, safe working conditions, and secure retirement benefits."
