As a lawyer for low-wage and immigrant workers, she won restitution for over 70 undocumented Thai garment workers who were forced to work under inhumane conditions, and also had wages stolen. Deputy Secretary Su also previously served as California\u2019s Labor secretary where she continued to protect workers regardless of their immigrant status.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe applaud the President for continuing to diversify his cabinet with Julie Su\u2019s nomination. AAPI Victory Alliance has been working with our partners in the AAPI community since 2020 in an effort commonly called \u201cAAPI46.\u201d Our goal has been to work with the Administration to uphold our shared values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in staffing the federal government at all levels. This is why it is so inspiring and heartening to see the President nominate the most diverse slate of appointees in American history.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON\u00a0\u2014 Moments ago, the White House&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s-a"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=56754"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56754\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56755,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56754\/revisions\/56755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=56754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=56754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=56754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
