President-elect Joe Biden has made history by nominating former Federal Reserve Board Chairwoman @JanetYellen to be the first female treasury secretary, moving away from decades of bipartisan Wall Street groupthink.
As Federal Reserve chair, @JanetYellen made critical decisions that prioritized jobs and wages for all working people, including communities of color long ignored by economic policymakers.
During this prolonged pandemic that is crushing working families from coast to coast, working people welcome this proven public servant who will bring a track record of smart, pro-worker policy to the Treasury Department.
The @AFLCIO will never rest in our pursuit of a Workers First Agenda, and we look forward to partnering with the president-elect and Treasury Secretary-designate Yellen to bring a new and better day for all Americans.
