The most significant
regulatory tort reform of President Bush's first term, the new
regulations provided millions of low-wage vulnerable workers with
strengthened overtime protection. In 2003, under her leadership, the Department achieved the first
major update of union financial disclosure regulations in more than 40
years, giving rank and file members enhanced information on how their
hard-earned dues are spent. The Department set new worker protection
enforcement records, including recovering record back wages for
vulnerable low-wage immigrant workers. The Department also launched
comprehensive reform of the Nation's publicly funded worker training
programs, to better serve dislocated and unemployed workers. I have complete confidence in her abilities and look forward to
working with her in her new capacity as the 18th U.S.
