ASA Also Supports Keith Sonderling for DOL Deputy Secretary
The American Staffing Association today officially endorsed the nominations of former representative Lori Chavez-DeRemer for secretary of labor and Keith Sonderling for deputy secretary of labor.
“As a small business owner, Chavez-DeRemer understands the burden of costly and unnecessary government regulations, the impact the national workforce shortage is having on all businesses, and the importance of upskilling employees,” said Toby Malara, vice president of government relations at ASA.
“During her time in Congress, she supported the Workforce Innovation Act and reasonable rules for determining joint employer liability and prioritized training and apprenticeship programs.”
Regarding Sonderling, who previously served as a commissioner at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and as the acting administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Malara added “His deep expertise in labor policy makes him ideally qualified for the role of deputy secretary.”
In the coming months, ASA will continue to focus on policy over politics in an effort to grow the labor market, strengthen communities, and expand access to quality careers for America’s workforce.
