Support Julie Su for Labor Secretary

Current Deputy Secretary of Labor Julie Su has been nominated to lead the Department of Labor. Su has worked as California labor commissioner, California labor secretary, as a human rights lawyer, and more. She is a pro-worker champion who has pursued policies that support workers in our industries and working families across the country, including:

  • Rescinding the previous administration’s IRAPs rule, which would have devastated SMART’s registered apprenticeship programs
  • Cracking down on wage theft, a particularly rampant issue for SMART members in the construction industry, and winning restitution for exploited workers
  • Fighting against worker misclassification, including by filing lawsuits on behalf of workers misclassified as independent contractors
  • Ensuring that workers come first in the face of future technology and policy developments as leader of California’s Future of Work Commission
  • Using her position in the Department of Labor to pursue pro-labor policies that protect workers from issues like heat exposure and create good, family-sustaining, union jobs

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR U.S. SENATORS TODAY AND ASK THEM TO CONFIRM JULIE SU AS LABOR SECRETARY.

Bad-faith corporations and billionaires are trying to prevent Su from leading the Department of Labor, spreading misinformation and lobbying Senators to vote against her confirmation. Su is a proven pro-labor advocate who has consistently walked the walk and acted on our behalf. We cannot let bad-faith groups stop her nomination.
