(Chip Somodevilla\/Getty Images)<br \/>\n\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Julie Su, the current deputy secretary of labor, is facing a contentious Senate vote to become President Joe Biden&#8217;s Labor Department secretary. Her nomination has been controversial due to her record as California&#8217;s labor chief, where she oversaw an estimated $31 billion in fraud during the pandemic lockdowns. This led to a nearly $20 billion hole in California&#8217;s unemployment insurance fund.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate workforce committee narrowly cleared her nomination for Senate approval on Wednesday, voting 11-10 along party lines. However, a handful of Democratic moderates have yet to commit to supporting her, making the Senate floor vote uncertain.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the fraud controversy, Su also worked to implement California&#8217;s Assembly Bill 5, which forced many independent contractors to reclassify as employees. Despite this, Senate workforce committee chair Bernie Sanders praised her record as a staunch union ally and supporter of raising the minimum wage.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Republican ranking member Bill Cassidy questioned Su&#8217;s competence and worried that she would bring an anti-business bias to the job. He noted her lack of experience with complex and high-stakes contract negotiations and her extensive record of partisan activism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deputy Labor Secretary Julie Su, left, and Sen.
