President Joe Biden on Feb. 28 announced he was nominating Julie Su to be the next secretary of the Department of Labor.
Su, currently the deputy secretary of labor, previously was head of California’s labor department. In that capacity, Biden said that she “cracked down on wage theft, fought to protect trafficked workers, increased the minimum wage, created good-paying, high-quality jobs, and established and enforced workplace safety standards.”
Su would be the first secretary-level Asian American to serve in Biden’s Cabinet.
