She is senate majority leader Mitch McConnells wife. Was Labor secretary under W Bush. She was present when airlines gutted pensions. She has been criticized by both parties for not adequately investigating over 70,000 labor complaints against employers. She sided with port owners against teamsters in LA and forced them back to work.
She is pro business and anti labor. That decade was a lost decade for most of us and in general not a very good time for labor. But then again her boss is actively trying to break a union in Vegas so at least it's consistent.
Not exactly draining the swamp.
Strap in boys. It's going to be a long four years.

So are you implying that losing our pensions was a direct result of the Bush Administration and not the actions of 19 misguided fanatics who hijacked two of our jetliners along with jets from American Airlines and killed over 3 thousand Americans is this country's worst terrorist attack?

The Alt-Right are notorious for many reasons. Critical thinking and insight aren't among them. On topic, I agree that his pick isn't friendly to labor but I wonder how much she can really do in that office to truly impact our lives. I guess we'll see.

Take a deep breath and try to relax.
The new SoT is NOT going to be operating in a vacuum and do whatever she wants in spite of the incoming administration's #1 campaign theme "fair deal for the American worker(s)".
And the Heritage Foundation is not going to be running the gov't.
Geez.

LOL
Gotta laugh at lefties desperate to label everyone who disagrees with them "Alt-right" and all that is supposed to mean. Critical thinking and insight is certainly not among those pushing that "narrative".
Fixed it for you.
It never was going to be the Amerika you want. Nor will it ever be. Move to Venezuela. Oh, wait...

Single pilot, flag of convenience was always coming no matter what. Cheap mass travel is far more important to the economy, than well paid pilots. If a car can drive itself, an airplane can certainly fly with one less pilot.
