A number of Senate Republicans have problems with President Trump 's nominee for labor secretary, Lori Chavez-DeRemer .

She has taken pro-union stances in the past that clash with the business community.

She supported the PRO Act , which would beef up labor protections for employees to collectively bargain and expand the scope of what counts as unfair labor practice.

Sen. Paul ’s National Right-to-Work Act was co-sponsored by 31 Republican senators in the last Congress .

Trump has catered to at least some segments of organized labor in a way that, in the past, would have been unheard-of from a Republican presidential candidate.

The once all-powerful business lobby has waning influence with the White House .

“That doesn’t mean you have to love everything in the PRO Act ,” he added. “I have concerns about that package. Fine. But I think reflexively, Oh, my gosh, she’s kind of close to labor! Danger , danger!’ I think we’ve got to get over that. But you’re talking to a guy who walked the picket line.”.
