U.S. Labor Secretary Martin J. Walsh, who is formerly Boston mayor and a top official at the regional building trades unions, will leave his federal post in mid-March to become executive director of the National Hockey League Players’ Association, the union and Walsh have announced.
In an email sent to Dept. of Labor employees on Feb. 16, Walsh said he had met with President Joe Biden “and he accepted that my time as Labor Secretary will conclude mid-March.”
