1. Meet Elaine Chao

Meet Elaine Chao

Elaine’s professional career includes substantial involvement in corporate and conservative America. Prior to her nomination as Secretary of Labor, Elaine worked at the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank, all while serving on the board of directors of numerous corporations that have influenced her ability to be an even-handed player in American labor issues.

Corporate Darling: Before joining the Bush cabinet in 2001, Elaine served on the board of directors for 13 corporations including Northwest Airlines, Columbia/HCA Healthcare, Clorox, and C.R. Bard.

Partisan Fundraiser: Elaine raised thousands of dollars for Republican candidates throughout the years. Her work as a “Bush Pioneer” raising $100,000 for his election was rewarded, as President Bush nominated her to become Secretary of Labor despite her lack of experience relevant to that position.

Elaine’s Business Interests: Her close ties to business — including Chinese government, commercial ventures, corporations that invest in or depend on China, and commercial interests potentially affected by her official actions and decisions — raise serious questions about her judgment and commitment to America’s workers.
