President-elect Trump's pick for Labor secretary, Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.), appears to be a genuine union supporter and that's freaking out some business groups and conservative advocates. Why it matters: Trump campaigned as a pro-worker and somewhat pro-labor candidate — though he was a decidedly anti-union president in his first term.This pick is a marked change — and a win for Teamsters president Sean O'Brien who pushed for Chavez-DeRemer.Between the lines: The nomination, part of Trump's "messy coalition," is a sign that O'Brien's decisions to speak at the Republican National Convention and to refrain from endorsing a presidential candidate are already paying off.Catch up fast: The daughter of a Teamsters father, Chavez-DeRemer served just one term in the House — she lost a close race in November.She was one of just three Republicans to co-sponsor the Pro Act, a bill reviled by conservative groups, most Republicans and the business lobby.Perhaps most controversially, the bill would hold companies accountable for workers they don't directly employ. For example, McDonald's would be responsible for workers at its franchises. Or Uber for its drivers. The first Trump administration reversed a similar rule. (Intriguingly, Chavez-DeRemer voted for a resolution to overturn a Biden effort to revive it.)State of play: Business groups and Republican lawmakers want to know where she stands on the Pro Act now. "That's going to be the issue she's going to have to answer for," in meetings with lawmakers, says Matthew Haller, CEO of the International Franchise Association.Meanwhile: Others quickly condemned her, including the Wall Street Journal and several conservative advocates on X.Not all Republicans are wary: "President O'Brien was a strong voice in a chorus that includes many Republicans eager to ensure the GOP acts in the interests of working people, not just corporations and financial elites," Teamsters spokesperson Kara Deniz tells Axios.Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) was among a few GOP lawmakers who encouraged Trump to go with Chavez-DeRemer, according to Deniz and a source familiar with the process. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) advised her on how to play the situation, another source familiar told Axios.Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) called her a "great pick!" on X.Reality check: Trump's first term was staunchly anti-labor, and union groups today aren't holding their breath for a 180 — putting out cautious statements of support that call out Trump's positions in his first term."Donald Trump is the President-elect of the United States — not Rep. Chavez-DeRemer — and it remains to be seen what she will be permitted to do," AFL-CIO president Liz Shuler said in a statement.What to watch: How the incoming administration treats public-sector unions as it tries to slash the size of the federal workforce.Axios' Juliegrace Brufke contributed reporting
