President Joe Biden has picked Brendan Danaher, a former Department of Transportation aide and longtime union official, as his new top labor policy adviser.
Danaher joined the White House National Economic Council on Monday as a deputy director, according to a White House official. He replaces Celeste Drake, who left her post this month to join the United Nations’ labor agency.
The United Auto Workers union is locked in tough contract talks with Detroit’s Big Three automakers, and a work stoppage is possible when their current agreement expires on Sept. 14. In Hollywood, writers and directors are on strike.Danaher is one of three White House advisers responsible for labor issues for Biden, who has called himself the most pro-union president in US history and is counting on labor support to help propel him to reelection in 2024.
Senior Labor Advisor Erika Dinkel-Smith is in charge of labor outreach at the White House Office of Political Strategy and Outreach and senior adviser Gene Sperling is serving as liaison to the UAW and auto manufacturers. They will work closely with Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su on labor issues, the White House official said.
