"Remember the last time we talked to Marty Walsh, it was his exit interview his last day on the job. He talked about the benefits of having a deputy who could step in and take his job. That would be Julie soothe the deputy secretary of labor and today the big hearing for her nomination on Capitol Hill. This on the Senate side, of course, and chairing the committee, senator Bernie Sanders. Julie Sue should be confirmed as our secretary of labor because she has spent her life fighting for those working families and they need her now. Okay, you would expect that. Ranking member on the health education labor and pensions committee, Bill Cassidy, does not agree. Studying his politics aside, Marty Walsh had significant experience in negotiations and managing organizations. That experience is important. But now with a 150 labor contracts expiring this year, the potential of replacing him with someone who has a history of bias, and no direct experience handling labor disputes should be concerning to all. So you're no Marty. Joining us for a little perspective before we get back to our panelists Bloomberg, White House reporter, Jordan Fabian. It's good to see you, Jordan. Good to see you too. For coming back in. This is the third time around here is this going to end the way the other two did? It's not looking good for Julie Sue. She has managed to not I want to say make a lot of enemies, but she's not really convinced a lot of people that she should be confirmed, especially on the Republican side. And so then she's going to need to rely on all Democrats and there is Joe Manchin out there who is reportedly expressed concern about her nomination to The White House. And the other wildcard is Kristen sinema, who's been pro industry figure in the Senate. And so but won't show her cards. Won't show her cards and does it show her cards typically, but she's really the one to watch. If she joins Joe Manchin, this nominee is basically done. And Feinstein's not making things any easier, not being here, of course. But there was a lot of talk today about corruption in California. This is where she came from right, essentially their labor secretary. I think they call it commissioner out there about the use of COVID funding that was badly abused, as we saw in a lot of states. Right, so there's two main things that critics have seized on in Julius used record. One is what you mentioned Joe millions and millions of dollars in COVID relief funds were fraudulently went out. Basically, fraudulent claims were dispersed. Also unemployment insurance, the extra unemployment insurance, which are department oversaw. That went out to a lot of people who apparently shouldn't have gotten it and so critics of C is on that. The other thing is her views on labor rules surrounding the gig economy. So Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, this app based services. She was a supporter of a rule that would have made it harder for those companies to keep their workers as independent contractors and easier for them to become employees with full benefits. That's something the industry didn't want. And so their allies have been very vocal in opposing Julie Sue. And it's made traction among Republicans in Congress. It's one of the top things they cite in opposing her nomination. Do we know when we get a vote on this? Or is that not clear? It's not clear yet. I mean, they're going to need to see first how things go in committee, right? If she can't get out of committee, then the process is essentially over. And so we'll have to wait and see usually it's maybe a week or two when they held a vote, but if they don't have the votes, they won't hold about. They'll just pull her back or ask her to do that on her own. Absolutely. Jordan, thank you. It's great to see you helping us set the stage here for our panel Jordan Fabian Bloomberg White House reporter. You can always find his work of course on the terminal. And Rick Davis is back with us along with drew litman now, our panel with insights here, unclear exactly what's going to happen with this one, Rick, but it's not looking great for this White House. What happens if a third nominee goes down? Well, look, I mean, I think this is going to be a process that Biden administration is going to have to look and say, we got to build more consensus before we throw people up there. They've got people like John tester who we haven't talked about yet, who's going to have a really tough reelection who isn't going to walk the plank here. And part of the problem on this one is it's worth pointing out. Republicans and Democrats both liked Marty Walsh. I mean, he's a hard actor. Oh, yeah. He had a lot of experience and he did well on Capitol Hill with members. And so I think there's an attitude. Give us somebody like him back. You know, we don't want to we don't want to have somebody who doesn't have the kind of experience and gravitas that Marty had. So part of their success with Marty Walsh is one of the reasons why they're having such a hard time with the Sioux nomination. Drew, one of the knocks here that Rick is alluding to is that she has no experience negotiating major labor deals with a 150 apparently contracts up for renewal this year according to Bill Cassidy. She doesn't have the experience that Marty Walsh had as a labor leader as the mayor of Boston. Is there some truth to that? Literally, yes, but I think she apprenticed under Walsh and she should be able to do that. She surrounded by hyper competent people. I think one problem that she has is that some of the most important issues like the gig economy issues, they're simply new to senators. I've talked to senators about these issues. Some of them only have the biggest idea of what they're about. And that makes it hard to suss out people's positions. I don't know how important the economy is in West Virginia. But it makes it hard to anticipate this isn't classic labor versus management stuff. It makes it hard to know where people are going to go. One of the things as we discussed with Jordan Rick that we're hearing a lot about in the hearing today is the EDD, the California employment development department. With a lot of folks who unlawfully exploited

Biden's labor secretary nominee faces doubts in Senate
"President Joe Biden's nominee to be the next labor secretary is scheduled to testify today before the Senate. Biden picked deputy labor secretary Julie Sue and February to replace Marty Walsh the former mayor of Boston, but a handful of moderate Democrats have not publicly stated whether they'd vote for Sue's nomination, Sue was previously confirmed as deputy labor secretary, but she's faced opposition from business groups critical of her record leading California's Labor Department. She supported an overturned California law that would have required apt based ride hailing and delivery companies and trucking businesses to treat their workers as employees, providing benefits rather than independent contractors, Sue was also blamed for California potentially paying out billions of dollars in fraudulent unemployment benefits during the pandemic, Donna water Washington

"On the latest sound on podcasts, labor secretary Marty Walsh on the February jobs report, as he departs to take on a new chapter leading the NHL players union. It's kind of strange Joe. This is 26 years of public service. Being here to the Department of Labor at the last jobs day means a great day for jobs in America. It's almost a two year university of American rescue plane passing. So the president's done an amazing job and I've been part of this ride with him and it's been amazing. The highest labor force participation rate since March of 2020. I remember where we all were in March of 2020. We were in Boston. That wasn't bad time. So you're looking at the highest number since the pandemic essentially. Why are people now finally coming back to work? A lot of it has to do with the economic plan that President Biden's laid out. A lot of us are doing business as well thinking about and adjusting to the worker. People are getting back to work because they need to get back to work. I think that having people vaccinated, the numbers of COVID going down, all of that stuff is playing into this. You know, it's been a long two years. It's really when you think about it. And it could have been much, much worse. It was bad for a lot of people. And we're still dealing with the aftermath of inflation and other things, but it's good to see those numbers go up. It's good to see higher wages for people. It's good to see that we can identify today to even increase that labor space for higher president put in his economic plan the other day, the blueprint, the budget defiles. Child care, home care. All of those issues, if Congress addresses them, we will see those participation rates even go higher, which could set records.

The president says Julie Sue is committed to making sure that dream is going to reach for every American.

"More than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. I'm Susanna Palmer. This is Bloomberg. On the latest edition of the sound on podcast, my conversation with labor secretary, Marty Walsh, about December's jobs report. Well, if you look at, if you look at the last few months here, we'll be have had good jobs, strong job growth. We have a near 50 year low in unemployment numbers. And we also have been able to bring down gas prices, we've been able to knock down inflation, we've been able to not quite where we want it to be, but we've been able to knock down inflation while adding job growth and having weight gain. So it can be done. And I just think we need to stay very focused on this and not take anything for granted. And move forward. I think that that's going to be the key to us moving forward. And inflationary pressures weren't caused by economic policies. A lot of them are caused by a pandemic. And I think that we can't lose sight of that either. Well, it sounds like a story of moderation here, and I'm not some sort of pro inflation guy. I just wonder how many of these analysts and economists secretary would be willing to give up their jobs first, you know? Yeah. But again, I think that they're all, everyone's trying to figure out the economy. And I think that we've had an economy for the last 50 years that has been up and down and at some point strong and then week. But this is unlike anything that any economist that's alive has ever dealt with. The last time we dealt with an economy quite honestly like this when I say an economy, a time like this was back in 1916, 17 and 18. And if you look at what happened in the pandemic, then you look at the pandemic now. There's a lot of similar trends. And there's a lot of concern

"Dare I say disinflationary story in the commodity spectrum complex. So for the last month or so. And then maybe use the sharp divide between us and Europe as well. I just did a moving average study of Netherlands gas, and yeah, it's down two days in a row from painful highs, but the moving average of European gas, natural gas is totally different than the sun and dancing in America. Just to keep going back to the relative story time for this White House, they've got a better story to tell relatively speaking to two months ago. At least if dare I say a month ago, given the latest talks with senator cinema in the direction of travel on that, particular bill. We have a win on gas prices. They have a win in the legislative front. How do they parlay this into a win when you're talking about a labor market? And that's why I actually am really interested to hear what Marty Walsh has to say. How are they going to dovetail a softening labor market that they need to see to suffer an inflation with a strong economy that they need to get reelected because it always always is about the economy. And right now people want to have some optimism and the people that they elect. And I'm not ready to call it a winter yet, but certainly getting better. Winning, can we say that? How much something like that? How much is it the direction of travel though? Even more than the actual price, because people have seen it come down so dramatically. And remember that feeling when you see those prices just climbing and climbing and climbing, it's demoralizing. If you see the bill increasing and if you see a decreasing, it gives you a little wind. It's the calendar on their side, some. That's what we've been talking about all year as the calendar on their side. I'd look to the November meeting. I still think it's just a nobody's talking about it. Defense bigger than September. Absolutely. Futures right now

I talked because there's no point in me not if i'm gonna talk to one group of mass either talk to everybody like people. We can't do no one individual kadena advocacy group. You're advocating if you don't have the ear of business one of the ear of labour will be trying to get your than you're gonna love you you're gonna keep keep talking and we're not going to see the change we need so we bring these people to the table. So you're gonna see all that on the sizes move forward more. Ip after this message and obviously that includes green jobs also because that's part of the new infrastructure that has to be built isn't it. I didn't talk about that. The infrastructure in the physical social. You have charging stations. That are gonna come legislating stations. Five hundred thousand around the country. That's really about green economy. You're gonna see investment in rail in their investment in public transportation. I would argue that the green economy investment. Because you're trying to get people out of cars onto trains onto public transportation's creating pathways in that reduce carbon emissions while having through thousand on the roads so all all of these things are are somehow tied to the environment vote and then in the in the in the in the bill back better agenda. There's other investments in. The green economy is while president by ric flair when he talks about the green economy. Talks about the ability to create jobs in job trainings plate.

We're able to pass a bipartisan bill. To the united states senate one point three trillion dollar infrastructure bill. So it's it's been it's been a good good for five days here in the in the biden administration and we can't attribute a lot of these gains to gradual re-opening candy. It's the opening is no question about it. I think that it's also vaccines when the president came in here and january. Pass the bill to the congress and the senate american messy plan which made investments in vaccines for americans made invest in childcare. We've seen thirty nine million billion dollars. Excuse me who all to the federal government into cities and towns across america out. We still have more work to do. No question about it. In last week's job report was a great one one of the largest in drought country. The problem is that we still seeing advocate means of color particularly african american community.
