embattled nominee for Labor secretary, Julie Su, will open her confirmation hearing on Thursday by recalling her upbringing as the daughter of immigrants who owned small businesses, Axios has learned.To fight for her nomination, Su plans to focus on her personal story as a way to rebut charges that she's dismissive of the challenges business owners face.
My family "owned a dry cleaning and laundromat business, and then a franchise pizza restaurant," she plans to say. "For years, my dad would work his day job and then head right to the pizza shop, returning home after 10pm, often with leftover pizza for our school lunches the next day."The Biden administration and Senate Democrats are all-hands-on-deck in trying to convince potential holdouts that Su, currently the deputy Labor secretary,Sen.
"The only thing that’s changed since Julie Su was confirmed in 2021 ’s done an excellent job as Deputy Secretary of Labor," the talking points argue.The nomination is turning into a proxy battle between labor unions and business groups like the Independent Franchisee Association and the National Restaurant Association. Both are opposed to her nomination.
