Trump's pick for labor secretary, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, is an outlier: She has experience in federal government, where she was one of three House Republicans to support the “Protecting the Right to Organize Act” to expand employees’ rights to organize and collectively bargain and she was accompanied by the head of the Teamsters when she went to visit Mar A Lago after the election.
What did her hearing tell us about how she would approach being labor secretary—while working in an administration that’s firing huge chunks of its workforce?
Guest: Tammy Kim, contributing writer at the New Yorker.
