Chavez-DeRemer has the depth of knowledge and experience necessary to lead the Department of Labor and support the 2.3 million men and women of the U.S. equipment manufacturing industry.
AEM has long supported policies that expand apprenticeships and work-based learning opportunities, roll back burdensome regulations, safeguard equipment manufacturers’ ability to innovate and invest, and provide economic opportunity and upward mobility for all Americans.

Leadership at the Department of Labor is critical to maintaining a strong and competitive equipment manufacturing industry, and we cannot think of a better person to lead at this pivotal moment for our nation.”
