Washington, D.C. – March 1, 2023 – Today, North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) issued the following statement from President Sean McGarvey:

“We applaud President Biden for nominating Julie Su to serve as Secretary of the Department of Labor. Julie is a champion for workers, and her experience and leadership are already an asset to the Department of Labor and the entire U.S. workforce. We are confident that working families will have another ally and advocate as DOL Secretary like they did with Secretary Walsh. Julie’s work combating wage theft, ensuring health and safety on the job, increasing access to quality jobs and career pathways for historically marginalized communities, and more, demonstrates her sincere commitment to uplifting and protecting America’s workforce and strengthening and expanding the middle class. We look forward to her confirmation and working with her and the entire Biden-Harris Administration to create more diverse avenues of opportunity for good-paying, high-quality, family-sustaining careers across this great nation and to ensure all working families flourish in America’s reinvigorated economy.”
