About Eugene Scalia in brief
Eugene Scalia is an American politician and attorney who serves as the 28th United States Secretary of Labor. He was confirmed by the Senate on September 26, 2019, and was sworn in on September 30, 2019. He previously served as Solicitor of the Department of Labor during the George W. Bush administration. He is a son of the late Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. Prior to his nomination, Scalia was known as a corporate lawyer who had a record of arguing against worker’s rights. His initiatives are said to be not meant to protect workers, but instead to safeguard the industries favorable to the Republican Party.
He has been accused of improperly intervening in the gender and racial discrimination legal case brought forth by an agency of his own department against Oracle. In October 2020, The New Yorker characterized Scalia’s tenure as Secretary ofLabor as one of antagonism towards labor and weakening of workers’ rights. The Labor Department changed rules that made it easier for firms to shortchange waiters and not to provide paid sick leave.
