Today, in a speech on the House Floor, Education and Labor Committee Republican Leader Virginia Foxx (R-NC) called Labor Secretary Marty Walsh to account for his inappropriate involvement in labor disputes:
Republican Leader Foxx's Remarks:
“Labor Secretary Marty Walsh needs to remember that he is a Cabinet member—not an activist. His one-sided involvement in active labor disputes is unfair and unprecedented.
“He is a former union president and the first union member in nearly half a century to lead the Department of Labor.
“If you believe he can be an impartial arbiter, then I’ve got swamp land in New Mexico to sell you.
“The head of the AFL-CIO herself expressed approval of Walsh’s willingness to work ‘behind the scenes.’
“Walsh’s infamous picket line participation with strikers at the Kellogg’s factory won’t be his last attempt to interfere with labor-management disputes. Politico recently reported Walsh is ‘eager to help with others.’
“Walsh’s pro-union advocacy disqualifies him from acting as an honest broker; he would rather protect his union boss cronies than protect workers and job creators.”
