Chavez-DeRemer is coming under scrutiny because of her support for a key Democratic agenda item and concerns that she’d undermine GOP efforts to undo the Biden administration’s labor regulations.

Republicans aghast: Chavez-DeRemer was one of just three GOP co-sponsors of the PRO Act, a bill to expand collective bargaining rights and strengthen the influence of labor unions.

Obviously the choice of Lori Chavez-DeRemer is an expression of Trump’s deep empathy, concern and strong support of all those MAGA laborers who voted for him.

No, but it shows that the Teamsters' cold political calculation resulted in some benefit for labor.

Juries out on that. She was representing a tough district before now she's representing the Dump admin and i doubt there's going to be any pro-labor policy.

I would imagine Brain Fitzpatrick was one.

If only the rest of the GOP was more like Brian Fitzpatrick, this current feeling of the incoming trifecta in January would be nowhere near as bad as it is!! 😢🇺🇲

Fitzpatrick and Chris Smith from NJ-04. Van Drew co-sponsored the previous versions of the bill, but didn’t this time around.
