Our Concerns About the Potential Nomination of Eugene Scalia to Labor Secretary

“NELP is deeply concerned by the news that Eugene Scalia will be nominated to be Secretary of Labor. Mr. Scalia has spent his entire career fighting for big businesses and against working people. He is a frequent opponent of the Department of Labor and its initiatives to try to improve the lives of the country’s workforce. As his nomination is considered, the Senate should hold Mr. Scalia to the same standard we would any other nominee for this post – will he make it his mission to be a champion of the country’s workforce? If not, NELP will have no choice but to vigorously oppose his nomination.”
