CHAMPION FOR WORKERS:
MARTY WALSH APPOINTED U.S. LABOR SECRETARY We’re proud to congratulate Boston Mayor Marty Walsh on his nomination for U.S. Secretary of Labor. Mayor Walsh has been a steadfast champion for working families throughout his entire career, from his roots as a union Laborer to the Massachusetts State House and the Mayor’s office. This moment is historic. Walsh is the first former union member to become Labor Secretary in nearly 50 years. We’re proud to be a part of this great new chapter for our city, for our union, and for workers all across the country. We look forward to partnering with Walsh in his new role to overturn and correct the damage the Trump administration caused to safe working conditions, fair wages and benefits, and representation at work.
“
