WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Teamsters are praising President Biden's selection of current California Labor Secretary Julie Su as nominee to be the next deputy U.S. Secretary of Labor, saying she has a long record of standing with workers who are being taken advantage of by their employers.
Su has been a friend to the Teamsters in their fight for justice at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Her leadership has led to a crackdown on the misclassification of port truck drivers there, and her work to revamp the California Department of Labor Standards Enforcement has changed the culture and made it work much more efficiently and effectively to uphold workers' rights.
