Boston Mayor Martin Walsh, a longtime Laborers' union member and former building trades regional executive, is set to serve as U,S, Labor Secretary—a key role in the Biden administration cabinet as the president-elect seeks to fulfill campaign pledges to strengthen the unions’ ability to bargain, organize and grow, according to an advisory released by President-elect Joe Biden to introduce members of his economic and jobs team.
Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will introduce the nominees, including Walsh, on Jan. 8 during an event in Wilmington, Del.
