Eugene Scalia

Eugene Scalia, born on August fourteenth, nineteen sixty-three, is a prominent American lawyer known for his influential role in labor law and policy. He served as the twenty-eighth United States Secretary of Labor during the final sixteen months of the first Trump administration, from two thousand nineteen to two thousand twenty-one. His tenure was marked by a significant shift in labor regulations, as he reversed many policies established during the Obama administration.

Before his appointment as Secretary of Labor, Scalia held the position of United States Solicitor of Labor under President George W. Bush. His legal expertise and conservative approach to labor issues have earned him a reputation as a skilled lawyer with a pro-business and anti-regulatory agenda, as noted by The New York Times.

Scalia is also the son of the late Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, which adds a notable legacy to his professional journey. After concluding his role in the Trump administration, he returned to his position as a partner at the prestigious law firm Gibson Dunn, continuing to influence the legal landscape.
