The president of the United States, Joe Biden, appointed Julie Su as successor to Marty Walsh, who announced two weeks ago his resignation as the North American country’s labor minister to assume the executive direction of the National Hockey League Players Association.

Hers, who has worked as number two in the Labor Department since 2021, will lead the portfolio, the White House said, noting that she will become the first person of Asian descent to be part of Biden’s Cabinet.

The appointment, which comes after what is the first departure of a Biden minister from the government, comes at a crucial time for the United States economy.

Hers will become in charge of transmitting the economic policies of the Biden Administration, with the aim of “stabilizing” and “reinforcing” labor rights as fears of a recession increase.

Biden praised hers, emphasizing her “experience as a leader,” while qualifying that she seeks to “build a stronger, more resilient economy that allows Americans to be compensated equitably for their work.”

The United States Secretary of Labor, Marty Walsh, resigned from his position and announced that he will leave the Administration of President Joe Biden next March to assume the executive direction of the National Hockey League Players Association.

Thus, Walsh will become the first minister in Biden’s Cabinet to leave his post since the start of his term. “Earlier this week I met with the president and he accepted that my time as secretary ends in mid-March,” he said in a message on his Twitter account.

“As a union member, serving as Secretary of Labor in the administration that most defended workers has been an immense privilege,” he said before highlighting the work of “his co-worker, Assistant Secretary Julie Su,” who could take his place.

In addition, he has qualified that he leaves the Department with “confidence that the promise of resilience for our country is fulfilled now more than ever.”
