22 Mar U.S. Senate Confirms Marty Walsh Secretary of Labor
For four years, the Department of Labor has been devoted to serving a handful of elite interests, instead of working people.
Not anymore.
The Senate has confirmed Marty Walsh as labor secretary. As a former union member, he understands the power of collective action, and his confirmation strengthens our fight to improve the lives of working people across the country.
Weโre going to protect workers from COVID-19.
Weโre going to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
Weโre going to build 21st-century infrastructure and create a new generation of good-paying union jobs.
And above all, we’ll finally protect our right to organize by passing the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act).
This is another victory for working people under the Biden Administration.
