Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su testified before the House Ed and Workforce Committee regarding Department of Labor priorities. Su faced criticism for pursuing policies that some believe are detrimental to American workers, job creators, and taxpayers. Various lawmakers expressed differing opinions on Su's actions, with some praising her efforts to expand overtime pay, strengthen wages, and support apprenticeship programs, while others raised concerns about the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates on career opportunities. Su defended her role and recent agency rules amid accusations from Republicans questioning the legality of her actions.
The Biden Admin’s regulations have only hurt American business owners. Yesterday, I questioned the @USDOL on its failure to account for the negative impact its rules will have on small businesses and families. https://t.co/w8wy8VNii3

As a former small business owner, I know that when our workforce is protected, businesses benefit too. I had the opportunity at @EdWorkforceDems to hear from @ActSecJulieSu on the work @USDOL is doing to protect American workers and their hard-earned retirement savings. https://t.co/Ag0vDZ4DKV
As Acting Secretary of Labor, @ActSecJulieSu has delivered for working people with policies that: ✅Expand overtime pay for millions of workers ✅Strengthen Davis-Bacon wages ✅Protect farmworkers' rights ✅Support apprenticeship programs ✅Improve access to mental health care https://t.co/bsBXTQV92W
The Biden @USDOL has it backwards. Taxpayers want lower costs & more opportunities to find a great career, not the artificially inflated federal construction costs & fewer apprenticeships their regulations will cause. Watch my questions from today's @EdWorkforceCmte hearing: https://t.co/xUN6IUZE7w
