Governor Gavin Newsom today issued the following statement regarding President Biden’s nomination of Secretary of the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency Julie A. Su to serve as Deputy Secretary of Labor at the U.S. Department of Labor:
“Julie Su embodies the spirit of California. Her commitment to empowering working people and creating opportunity for every community to thrive is exactly why she is the best choice to serve as our nation’s next Deputy Secretary of Labor.
“Julie has been with me from the very start. Throughout her service to California, and amid the challenging circumstances presented by COVID-19 and the resulting recession, Julie has done extraordinary work to create pathways to quality jobs in emerging fields like clean energy, help ensure workers can stay healthy on the job and guide our transition to the future of work.
“With a leader like Julie at the helm—a tireless fighter for working Americans and a voice for the voiceless—the U.S. Department of Labor will play a central role in guiding us through recovery toward becoming a safer, more equitable and more prosperous nation.”

It is almost unbelievable that Julie Su could be tapped by Pres. Biden to serve as the Deputy Sec’y of Labor on a national level until one realizes that this is what the Democrats do – they put incompetents in charge. Julie Su is the very same one who led California’s EDD department & let over 11 billion dollars be stolen by fraudsters – including many behind bars in the Calif. prison system. I personally know people who have waited almost a year for their unemployment – being denied time after time and are still waiting for their appeal to be approved while prisoners bogus applications & payments sailed through the system in record time. I suppose I should be saying good riddance but I have a hard time believing Gov Newsom won’t find someone equally incompentent to replace her.
