SECRETARY WALSH IS A BAD-FAITH ACTOR
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, Labor Secretary Marty Walsh needs to
remember that he is a Cabinet member, not an activist. His one-sided
involvement in active labor disputes is unfair and unprecedented.
He is a former union president and the first union member in nearly
half a century to lead the Department of

Labor. If you believe he can be an impartial arbiter, then I have
swampland in New Mexico to sell you. The head of the AFL-CIO herself
expressed approval of Walsh's willingness to work ``behind the
scenes.''
Walsh's infamous picket line participation with strikers at the
Kellogg's factory won't be his last attempt to interfere with labor-
management disputes. Politico recently reported Walsh is ``eager to
help with others.''
Walsh's pro-union advocacy disqualifies him from acting as an honest
broker. He would rather protect his union boss cronies than protect
workers and job creators.
