AP sources: Walsh to leave Biden Cabinet for NHL union

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh is expected to leave the Biden administration to run the National Hockey League Players’ Association, according to two people familiar with his plans. An administration official said Tuesday that Walsh was expected to leave his post after President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, as did a second person familiar with Walsh’s plans, who stressed that the plan was not yet final. “I like my own job right now very much,” said Sanders, who is now chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which would oversee Walsh’s replacement’s confirmation process. Fehr, best known for his lengthy career running the Major League Baseball Players Association, started working for hockey’s union in December 2010 and was quickly named executive director, overseeing collective bargaining negotiations in 2013 and 2020.
