Welcome to the Secretary of Labor podcast with your host, Mortimer! In this riveting episode, we delve into the latest buzz surrounding U.S. Secretary of Labor, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, as she returns to Washington, D.C. after her pivotal America at Work tour, which ended on March 16, 2026. This episode is packed with insights into the ongoing investigation of travel fraud and misconduct claims that have left her isolated within the Department of Labor, following the resignation and sidelining of four key advisers.
