Labor Relations Radio, E155—Is Trump's Pick For Department of Labor '4D Chess' or Just A Terrible Pick? With RedState.com's Jen Van Laar

Picking a PRO-Act supporting, amnesty and Big Government-loving, one-term Congresswoman as the next labor secretary has many people scratching their heads.

On Friday evening, much to the surprise of the business community and millions of independent contractors, President-elect Donald Trump nominated a one-term Congresswoman, Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore), to become Trump’s Secretary of Labor.

Despite her seeming lack of qualifications, Chavez-DeRemer’s pick is surprising to many people due to her…

• Backing of the PRO Act
• Support for nationalizing public-sector labor law
• Reported backing of amnesty for undocumented migrants

As the nomination was fully supported by the Teamsters’ union president Sean O’Brien, the Wall Street Journal editorial board even penned a piece entitled: Trump’s Labor Choice: Unions Over Workers.

In this episode of Labor Relations Radio, Jennifer Van Laar, the managing editor of RedState.com joins host Peter List to discuss Trump’s puzzling pick.
