Lori Chavez Doremer, front and center before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee in her bid to head the Labor Department. The nomination ruffled Republican feathers. A former representative from Oregon, Ms. Doremer once co-sponsored a bill protecting the right to organize. The bill was lauded by Democrats for strengthening labor protections and expanding workers' rights. Republicans lambasted the bill for its provision overturning right-to-work laws, which make it illegal to require workers to join a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment. These protections exist in 27 states. Republican members of the committee questioned Ms. DeRemer on her past support for some provisions of this proposed law.
Do you still support the PRO Act or don't you support the PRO Act?
I fully, fairly support states who want to protect their right to work. I have said that to every senator that I have visited.
So you no longer support the aspect of the PRO Act that would have overturned state right to work laws? Yeah.
There were so many parts.
That's a yes?
Yes. Do you continue to support the elimination of secret ballots in union elections?
I do not support that portion. That was Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and then Maine Senator Susan Collins. Ms. DeRemer's biggest obstacle, GOP hesitancy. Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen tried to soften GOP resistance when introducing Ms. DeRemer prior to her opening remarks.
Lori represents someone that is uniquely positioned to bring people like Sean and I who presented Lori to President Trump and said, this is someone that we can work together with. This is a negotiation between two fractions. the party that is saying we're willing to work together.
The Sean Mr. McMullen is referring to there is Sean O'Brien, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Senator Mullen and Sean O'Brien, highly unexpected allies, not least of which because of this exchange we saw at a committee hearing back in November 2023, where the two nearly came to blows.
In fact, you tweeted at me one, two, three, four, five times. And let me read what the last one said. Quit the tough guy act and these Senate hearings. You know where to find me. Any place, any time, cowboy. Sir, this is a time, this is a place. You want to run your mouth. We can be two consenting adults. We can finish it here.
