Trump's Pro-Union Labor Secretary Pick Raises GOP Concerns
TL;DR
Business groups are concerned about President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Labor Secretary due to her support for union-friendly legislation, which contrasts with their preference for a more business-oriented approach. While some business leaders are working to ensure pro-business appointments in other key positions within the Labor Department, Chavez-DeRemer's nomination reflects Trump's appeal to working-class voters. Despite skepticism from both business and union groups, Chavez-DeRemer is expected to have a relatively smooth confirmation process.
