Trump’s labor chief betrayed you for Mexican beer. Expect a midterm blowout

Once a member of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet, former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer claimed to support American workers and organized labor. This was part of the Republican effort to try to build bridges to organized labor, and appeal to working people.

But unfortunately, as soon as she left her post at the Department of Labor, Chavez-DeRemer turned against America’s unions and manufacturing workforce. At a time when U.S. breweries are closing, the former secretary is now choosing to advocate Mexican workers and the companies that underpay them, such as Constellation Brands, which produces beer in Mexico exclusively for export to the United States.
