MIAMI – U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer joined Rep. Maria Salazar, small business owners, developers, longshoremen, and local officials during the second stop on her nationwide America at Work listening tour. While visiting downtown Miami and PortMiami, the Secretary held meetings to learn more about how the federal government can assist in developing a skilled workforce, improve infrastructure to attract business and investment, prioritize American workers, and expand opportunities for workers to achieve the American Dream. “Miami is among our nation’s busiest ports and has one of the fastest-growing metro areas. It was great to see that business is booming thanks to President Trump’s efforts to put American Workers First and create a new Golden Age of economic opportunity,” Secretary Chavez-DeRemer said. “I enjoyed visiting with the workers who keep Miami running alongside Congresswoman Salazar, and I look forward to hearing directly from more of our nation’s workforce as I continue telling the story of America at Work.”“It was great welcoming Labor Secretary Chavez-DeRemer to Miami. The world is changing, and we need to re-tool our policies to put our workers and our families first,” Rep. Salazar said. “From the port workers to the union members to the people we met throughout the city, there is no better place to learn about the renewal of the American Dream than Miami.” Throughout her America at Work listening tour, the Secretary will continue meeting with various workers, union members, contractors, employers, and community leaders to ensure real-world experiences help shape and modernize federal labor policies and practices by taking the conversation directly to America’s workforce.
