Trump’s new Labor Dept is coming for the most vulnerable workers in America.
President Trump just appointed Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Secretary of Labor—and she’s already launching a sweeping attack on working people.
The Department of Labor is moving fast to eliminate the minimum wage for home healthcare workers, strip protections from migrant farmworkers, and gut OSHA’s ability to keep job sites safe. These rollbacks target the very workers who face the lowest pay, the harshest conditions, and the fewest protections.
This isn’t reform — it’s exploitation. If we don’t act now, these dangerous changes could be finalized within weeks.
We’ve stopped Trump’s anti-worker agenda before with overwhelming public pressure. We can do it again.
The clock is ticking. This could be our last chance to stop a full-scale rollback of workers’ rights.
Thanks,
Mary
