President Joe Biden urged the U.S. Senate to quickly confirm Julie Su as Labor Department secretary and hailed his nominee for her past work to increase worker wages and expand protections
Biden, speaking alongside Su at a White House event celebrating her nomination, said she had led efforts to establish and support union jobs in her current role as the department's deputy secretary and in past labor positions in California.
"She has increased the minimum wage, cracked down on wage theft, protected trafficked workers, established and enforced workplace safety standards, and so much more," Biden said. "I ask the United States Senate to move this nomination quickly so we can continue build economy that works for everyone," Biden said, while praising outgoing department secretary Marty Walsh for his pro-union work.
