The Senate voted along party lines Thursday to confirm Eugene Scalia to succeed Alex Acosta as U.S. labor secretary. Scalia is the son of the late far-right Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, and a partner at the powerful law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. Scalia has a long history of opposing labor unions on behalf of corporate clients, including Walmart. Much of Scalia’s legal work has been aimed at stopping the Dodd-Frank financial regulations enacted after the 2008 financial collapse.
