NILC Urges Senate to Confirm Julie Su as Department of Labor Secretary

WASHINGTON — Kica Matos, incoming president of the National Immigration Law Center, issued the following statement in response to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee moving forward with the nomination of Julie Su for Secretary of Labor:

“Deputy Secretary Julie Su has long been a champion and ally for the rights of all workers, regardless of immigration status. Her track record of advancing the rights of low-wage workers and enforcing labor laws makes workplaces safer and better for everyone.

“The daughter of immigrants, she embodies the promise of this nation and her decades of experience make her uniquely qualified to lead the Department of Labor. Now that the HELP Committee has advanced her nomination, we urge the full Senate to vote to confirm her as secretary without delay.”
