She also has worked to broaden employee training programs and crack down on wage theft. If confirmed by the Senate, Su would also be the first Asian American in the Biden administration to serve in the Cabinet at the secretary level.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, in a statement on Tuesday, called her a \u201cchampion for workers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJulie is a tested and experienced leader, who will continue to build a stronger, more resilient, and more inclusive economy that provides Americans a fair return for their work and an equal chance to get ahead,\u201d he said. \u201cShe helped avert a national rail shutdown, improved access to good jobs free from discrimination through my Good Jobs Initiative, and is ensuring that the jobs we create in critical sectors like semiconductor manufacturing, broadband and healthcare are good-paying, stable and accessible jobs for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Su was considered to lead the department when Biden won the White House but instead became the department\u2019s deputy. Walsh announced his intention <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/nhl-sports-boston-hockey-marty-walsh-57348f31895e8712fa55ddb4a6598d3d\" data-ylk=\"slk:to leave the administration;cpos:3;pos:1\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">to leave the administration<\/a> earlier this month to lead the National Hockey League Players\u2019 Association. Su will serve as the acting secretary until the Senate acts on her nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Biden had been under pressure from the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus and other Asian American and Pacific Islander advocates to select Su to head the department. This administration was the first in more than two decades to not have a Cabinet secretary of AAPI descent, despite its regular declarations that it was the most diverse in history. Vice President Kamala Harris and U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai are of AAPI descent but don\u2019t lead a Cabinet department.<\/p>\n<p>Su, if confirmed, would also expand the majority of women serving in the president\u2019s Cabinet. She was confirmed by the Senate to her current role in 2021 by a 50\u201347 vote.<\/p>\n<p>Su&#8217;s nomination drew swift support from Democrats on Capitol Hill, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer saying she would be \u201cphenomenal\u201d in the job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president couldn\u2019t have picked a better nominee,&#8221; he told reporters. &#8220;I\u2019m really excited about her, and we\u2019re going to move to consider her nomination very, very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who will preside over Su\u2019s confirmation hearing as chair of the Senate health, education, labor and pensions committee, praised the selection. Sanders had urged consideration of Sara Nelson, the president of the flight attendants union, but made clear Su had his strong support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m confident Julie Su will be an excellent Secretary of Labor,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cI look forward to working with her to protect workers\u2019 rights and build the trade union movement in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy, the top Republican on the Senate health, education and labor committee who opposed Su when she was selected for deputy secretary, called her work overseeing the department \u201ctroubling\u201d and \u201canti-worker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The committee should \u201chave a full and thorough hearing process,\u201d Cassidy said.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif., who chairs the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, said she was \u201coverjoyed\u201d by the selection, thanking Biden in a tweet for \u201cnominating your first AAPI Cabinet Secretary!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt certainly is better late than never,\u201d Chu said in a brief interview, citing CAPAC support for Su two years ago for the top Labor post and praising Su&#8217;s credentials as a leader and enforcer of labor laws including minimum wage and occupational safety standards. She said GOP criticism about Su had been fully vetted two years ago and that the coming confirmation process will show their charges \u201chave no basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chu noted that Biden had said he would name a Cabinet that looked like America, and \u201che fulfilled that promise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Su&#8217;s nomination also comes at a key moment for labor unions, which have been facing a decline in membership for decades. Unions gained some momentum as workers at major employers such as Amazon and Starbucks pushed to unionize. But Biden \u2014 an avowed pro-union president \u2014 had to work with Congress to impose a contract on rail workers last year to avoid a possible strike.<\/p>\n<p>The Labor Department said just 10.1% of workers last year were union members. That figure has been cut nearly in half since 1983 and could fall further, as younger workers are less likely to belong to unions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no one more dedicated and qualified to defend the fundamental rights of working people than Julie Su,\u201d said AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler. &#8220;It\u2019s her life\u2019s work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Associated Press writers Josh Boak, Mary Clare Jalonick and Hope Yen in Washington contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
