"Chavez-DeRemer has done a phenomenal job protecting American workers and is set to take a position in the private sector, White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung said in a post on X late on Monday."
"While Cheung did not give a reason for Chavez-DeRemer's departure, the New York Post reported in January that she was under investigation for pursuing an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate and drinking in her office during the work day."
"From the beginning of her tenure, Chavez-DeRemer had some notable differences with other members of Trump's inner circle. She had voiced support for the pro-union Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act), earning support for her nomination from some Democrats."
"However, as the labour secretary, Chavez-DeRemer's positions have more closely aligned with the Trump administration's overall anti-regulatory policies, according to US media."
Lori Chavez-DeRemer will leave her role as US Secretary of Labor, becoming the third high-profile female official to exit the Trump administration. Her departure follows Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi. While praised for her work protecting American workers, she faced allegations of inappropriate conduct. Keith Sonderling will serve as Acting Secretary of Labor. Chavez-DeRemer had previously supported pro-union legislation, but her policies aligned more closely with the administration's anti-regulatory stance.
