President Biden will nominate Deputy Secretary of Labor Julie Su, California’s former labor chief, to head the U.S. Department of Labor, the White House said Tuesday.
"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," Biden said.

Su, the former secretary of labor for California, was confirmed by a razor-thin margin, 50-47, by the U.S. Senate in July 2021 to serve in her current role.
