Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) and Workforce Protections Subcommittee Chairman Kevin Kiley (R-CA) have written a letter to President Biden, urging him not to renominate Julie Su to head the Department of Labor (DOL). The letter comes following Su's failure to secure enough support in the Senate to confirm her nomination.

The letter highlights several concerns about Su's nomination and her track record. Foxx and Kiley express their objection to Su's appointment, stating that she has allowed fraudsters to steal $32 billion in unemployment insurance from California taxpayers. They also criticize her role in enforcing AB 5, a California law that they argue denies workers the freedom to earn a living as they choose, resulting in job losses for thousands of workers.

The letter also mentions Su's attempt to impose an unconstitutional vaccination rule on American workers during her time as Deputy Secretary of Labor. Foxx and Kiley argue that Su's leadership at the DOL has demonstrated a disregard for Congress' role in oversight.

The letter concludes by calling on President Biden to select a new nominee for the position of Secretary of Labor and to end Su's tenure as Acting Secretary. Foxx and Kiley emphasize that Su's nomination has failed to gain the support of a majority of senators, and they urge the President to acknowledge the Senate's inaction as a sign of its unacceptability to the American people.

It remains to be seen how President Biden will respond to this request from Foxx and Kiley.
