Press Releases

Today, Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement in response to the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) hiring U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Marty Walsh as its Executive Director:
 
“Time and time again, we have seen the Biden administration’s Department of Labor—with Secretary Walsh at the helm—constrict job creators and American workers by implementing policies that favor union bosses. In fact, Secretary Walsh’s policies towards America’s workforce have been downright predatory, moving America further away from solutions to address challenges like a worker shortage, a broadening skills gap, and inflation. With this lackluster track record, we now learn he is set to lead the NHLPA.
 
“Secretary Walsh’s job performance doesn’t warrant celebration, it warrants the penalty box—at best. At every opportunity—he has failed to be a balanced and neutral actor in his role, selling out the American worker for Big Labor. America’s workforce deserves better.”
