We are urging our Senators to confirm her appointment and work towards creating a fair and just workplace for all.
As an Asian-Pacific American, I’m filled with pride to support Julie Su as Secretary of Labor. Julie Su is the daughter of Chinese immigrants. Her mother came to the United States on a cargo ship because she couldn’t afford a passenger ticket, her parents later built a small laundromat business and raised a daughter who became a worker’s advocate and civil rights leader. Su’s unwavering dedication to confronting corporate greed and championing workers’ rights is genuinely inspiring.

In Arizona alone, an estimated $473 million in wages are stolen from workers each year, equivalent to 2.6% of the state’s total workforce or about 80,093 workers. This staggering amount of money should be going to hard-working individuals and their families to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads.
Su is endorsed by a range of business groups and labor leaders from the AFL-CIO and NABTU to LiUNA and the United Mineworkers. She has garnered all the right support and all the expected corporate opposition, who are more concerned for their profits rather than the people who keep our country running.
