Story summary

Former Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who previously held a position in President Donald Trump’s Cabinet, has been criticized for allegedly betraying American workers. According to recent reports, she is now advocating for Mexican workers and companies such as Constellation Brands, which produces beer exclusively in Mexico for export to the United States. This shift comes at a time when U.S. breweries are closing down, raising concerns among supporters of organized labor and manufacturing industries. The move has been framed by some as a betrayal since Chavez-DeRemer previously claimed support for American workers while serving in her role under Trump’s administration.
