In Today’s News and Commentary: Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh will depart his post on March 11th; the NLRB stands by its decision authorizing more expansive remedies for labor violations; a Trader Joe’s worker’s retaliation suit can advance to a jury trial.
Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh announced in an interview yesterday with Bloomberg Law that he will officially depart his position in President Biden’s administration on March 11th. Secretary Walsh made the surprise announcement of his plans to step down from his post to become executive director of the NHL Players Association less than a month ago. Deputy Secretary Julie Su, who has been nominated by President Biden to replace Secretary Walsh, will take over as acting Secretary at that point. Deputy Secretary Su’s nomination is already facing challenges from the business lobby based on her past leadership as California’s Labor Secretary. Democrats need 50 votes in the Senate to confirm Su, meaning lobbyists could tank her nomination by convincing just two senators who caucus with Democrats to defect.
