Mitt Romney Thinks the Labor Secretary Shouldn’t Represent Labor
The “unbiased, neutral arbiter” standard is an interesting one. It is not a demand that is normally made of other Cabinet secretaries. The Commerce secretary is understood as a representative of business. The Treasury secretary is supposed to have at least the respect of Wall Street. They are not generally pressed to demonstrate a record of cooperation with labor. So should all Cabinet secretaries be neutral between business and labor, or just the Labor secretary?

Julie Su, is not qualified or fit to be Labor Secretary. The same can be said of most of Biden's Cabinet and Secretaries.

Trump's appointments were anti their agency's mission. An education secretary who opposed public education. A labor secretary who was anti working people's interests. His environmental secretary opposed environmental regulation. His housing secretary was anti public housing...

So, who is supposed to run business in the United States?  Why don't labor unions leverage workers to start businesses and create high paying jobs with lots of benefits?  You know, labor unions face the same challenges for staffing and revenue as any other business.  Labor leaders have to serve their organization first or the labor union folds.  A big labor union is a big business, too.

If you don't like big business then don't work for one.  Start your own business and show us how it's supposed to be done.  Show the rest of us how we're supposed to work with labor unions.  Instead of just griping, give us an example.

Mitt Romney is the one griping.  The seeded article speaks for itself.  Our government favors business interest over worker interest, and always has.

The government gets little taxes without businesses as they pay the workers who pay the taxes.

The government can't brag about creating jobs without supporting business.  After all, business is where the jobs are.

Romney made his money by exploiting both business and labor.  Romney is a middleman who got rich off the skim.  That's why Romney is part of government.
