Chavez-DeRemer, if confirmed by the Senate, will be expected to pilot the agency into a more business-friendly policy approach, starting off with tossing several regulations recently finalized by the outgoing Biden administration.
Those include measures to expand overtime pay eligibility to millions of workers, allow for the consideration of environmental, social, and governance factors in employee retirement investments, and raise the bar for classifying gig workers as independent contractors, among others.

Trump Taps Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer to Head Labor Department (1)
President-elect Donald Trump has selected Republican US Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (Ore.) to serve as Secretary of Labor during his next administration.news.bloomberglaw.com
“Lori has worked tirelessly with both Business and Labor to build America’s workforce, and support the hardworking men and women of America,” Trump wrote when announcing the pick via the Truth Social platform Friday. “I look forward to working with her to create tremendous opportunity for American Workers, to expand Training and Apprenticeships, to grow wages and improve working conditions, to bring back our Manufacturing jobs.”
Such an oxymoron, Trump says they will increase wages yet cut the increased wages under Biden on overtime rules.
The last time Trump was in office, he cut overtime pay for fast food outlet "managers". Trump has never sided with the unions, or American workers. He talks about bringing back jobs, and then hires VISA workers for his hotels, and illegals for his golf resorts, and wine vineyards.
