Teamsters President Sean O’Brien is standing strong behind President Trump’s pick for Labor Secretary, Lori Chavez-DeRemer. O’Brien says Chavez-DeRemer knows what it’s like to grow up in a union household. Her dad was a Teamster. That real-life experience makes her the right choice to fight for workers, he says.
President Trump made a smart move picking Chavez-DeRemer. She’s a former mayor and small business owner who understands both sides of the economy. Trump knows blue-collar workers are the backbone of America. Choosing someone with union roots shows he’s serious about putting workers first.
Some Republicans were worried at first because Chavez-DeRemer once supported a big pro-union bill. But she’s made it clear she’ll follow Trump’s plan to balance worker rights and business growth. She says states should decide their own rules about unions. That’s common sense—not every state needs the same policies.
The Teamsters union isn’t alone in backing Chavez-DeRemer. Business groups like restaurants and retailers now support her too. She promised to cut red tape holding companies back while keeping workplaces safe. This balance will help create jobs without killing small businesses with too many rules.
Chavez-DeRemer didn’t back down when asked about immigration’s impact on jobs. She agreed with President Trump that open borders hurt American workers. Letting millions of illegal immigrants take jobs drives down wages for citizens. Securing the border is key to protecting hardworking families.
Democrats tried to attack Chavez-DeRemer over old news about Elon Musk getting government data. But she shut them down fast. She said she’d protect private worker information if confirmed. Conservatives know this is just another fake outrage stunt by the left to smear Trump’s team.
The left hates Chavez-DeRemer because she proves Republicans care about workers now. Unions used to blindly support Democrats, but Trump changed that. His America First policies brought jobs back from overseas. Chavez-DeRemer will keep that momentum going by fighting unfair trade deals and overregulation.
This confirmation isn’t just about one job—it’s about whose side Washington is on. Chavez-DeRemer will make sure the government works for everyday Americans, not coastal elites or big corporations. With union backing and a proven track record, she’s ready to get to work on Day One for President Trump and the people he serves best—the forgotten men and women of this country.”
