Why Scott believes Weill should not head agency

Dr. David Weill has supported government crackdowns on workforce models of Uber Technologies and other gig-economy companies, but Sen. Tim Scott says the Brandeis University dean is not the right person to head the Department of Labor Wage & Hour Division.  Scott and a handful of other Republican senators have sent a letter to President Biden outlining why they believe Weill is unsuitable, based on Weill’s work record while serving as the agency administrator during the Obama administration.  They say he presided over a series of job-killing rules.
