Dear U.S. Senator,
President Biden’s historic and important selection of Julie Su as the U.S. Secretary of Labor positions our country’s workforce to become more equitable and dignified.
- Julie Su has the support of unions, national organizations, and several members of the U.S Congress. Su has earned and maintained the trust and respect of her colleagues in the federal government, as well as key stakeholders and leaders within unions, worker organizations, businesses, and civil society – including the SEIU, the Asian American Action Fund and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.
- Julie Su’s record demonstrates that she is a champion for low-wage and women workers, including moms, immigrants, and workers of color. As deputy secretary of the DOL, she helped advance new programs under the American Rescue Plan and played a vital role in the creation and implementation of President Biden’s Good Jobs Initiative which improved job standards in government contracting and grant making—including higher wages, paid leave, registered apprenticeships, and pre-apprenticeships that open up opportunities for women, people of color, and underserved communities.
- Julie Su will be the first Asian American appointed to Biden’s Cabinet, if confirmed. Su will bring a unique perspective to President Biden’s cabinet, making it both stronger and more diverse.
Please vote YES to confirm Julie Su as the U.S. Secretary of Labor, without delay.
Sincerely,
