Nomination of Eugene Scalia for Secretary of Labor
Sep. 26, 2019
The AFL-CIO opposes the nomination of Eugene Scalia to be Secretary of Labor. He has spent his entire career representing corporate interests and fighting against the interests of working people. Eugene Scalia is the antithesis of what is required from a Secretary of Labor and what working people deserve to expect from the Department of Labor. Corporations and the rich already have abundant representation in the Trump administration. Working people cannot afford to have yet another corporate defender representing them at the Labor Department. Scalia was confirmed on Sept. 26, 2019.
