Today, President Biden announced his intent to nominate Julie Su to
serve as Secretary of the Department of Labor. Julie is a tested and

return for their work and an equal chance to get ahead.

THE WHITE HOUSE
February 28, 2023
It is my honor to nominate Julie Su to be our country’s next
Secretary of Labor. Julie has spent her life fighting to make sure
that everyone has a fair shot, that no community is overlooked, and
that no worker is left behind. Over several decades, Julie has led
the largest state labor department in the nation, cracked down on
wage theft, fought to protect trafficked workers, increased the
minimum wage, created good-paying, high-quality jobs, and
established and enforced workplace safety standards.
Julie is a champion for workers, and she has been a critical
partner to Secretary Walsh since the early days of my
Administration. She helped avert a national rail shutdown, improved
access to good jobs free from discrimination through my Good Jobs
Initiative, and is ensuring that the jobs we create in critical
sectors like semiconductor manufacturing, broadband and healthcare
are good-paying, stable and accessible jobs for all.
I look forward to continuing to work with Julie to build an economy
that works for working people, and I respectfully ask the Senate to
take up this nomination quickly so that we can finish the job for
America’s workers.
— President Joe Biden

今天(2月28日),拜登總統宣佈他將提名蘇維思(Julie
Su)擔任勞工部部長。蘇維思現任美國勞工部副部長,是一位久經考驗、經驗豐富的領導人,她將繼續建設一個更強大、更有彈性、更包容的經濟,爲美國人的工作提供公平的回報,爲他們提供平等的獲得成功的機會。拜登總統在發言中強調,?“我很榮幸提名Julie
Su爲我們國家的下一任勞工部長。Julie一生都在努力確保每個人都有公平的機會,沒有一個社區被忽視,沒有一個工人被落下。在過去的幾十年里,Julie領導了全國最大的州勞工部,打擊了工資盜竊,努力保護被販賣的工人,提高了最低工資,創造了高薪、高質量的工作崗位,並建立和執行了工作場所安全標準。
“Julie是工人權益的捍衛者,自本屆政府成立之初起,她就一直是沃爾什部長的重要合作夥伴。她幫助避免了一場全國性的鐵路停工,通過我的“Good
Jobs
Initiative”讓人們更容易獲得不受歧視的好工作機會,並確保我們在半導體製造、寬帶和醫療保健等關鍵部門創造的就業機會是所有人都能獲得的高薪、穩定和可獲得的工作。“我期待着繼續與朱莉合作,建設一個爲勞動人民服務的經濟。我恭敬地請求參議院迅速考慮這一提名,以便我們能爲美國工人完成這項工作。”

蘇維思(Julie
Su)一直在爲工人而奮鬥,目前擔任勞工部副部長,自2021年7月獲得參議院確認以來一直擔任這一職位。作爲副部長,蘇與沃爾什並肩工作,推動拜登總統提出的以工人福祉爲中心的強勁、有彈性和包容性經濟的願景。
在此之前,她曾擔任加州勞工部部長,與工會和雇主密切合作,建立良好的培訓夥伴關係,將人們——通常是那些被淘汰的人——與工會的好工作聯繫起來。蘇女士最初在政府部門工作,擔任加州勞工專員,在那里她發起了“工資盜竊是一種犯罪”運動,得到了勞資雙方的支持。蘇維思做了17年的民權律師,爲那些經常被忽視的工人辯護,其中包括72名被販賣到美國的泰國服裝工人,他們被迫在帶刺鐵絲網和武裝看守下工作。她的工作爲她贏得了麥克阿瑟“天才”奬。蘇維思畢業于斯坦福大學和哈佛法學院。她是華裔移民的女兒,會説普通話和西班牙語,她有兩個女兒,LiMei和AnLing,都在上大學。
