White House Pulls EEOC And Labor Department Nominees

The President withdrew pending nominations for EEOC General Counsel and an Assistant Labor Secretary post on April 27. The White House did not provide a reason and has not indicated whether it will submit replacement nominations.

Catherine Eschbach is continuing as the EEOC’s Acting General Counsel while the agency remains without a Senate-confirmed General Counsel. M. Carter Crow, who had been nominated for EEOC General Counsel, is Global Head of Employment and Labor at a management-side law firm.

At DOL, Tim Cummings continues as Acting Assistant Secretary for the Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs. Daniel Bonham, who had been nominated to be the Assistant Labor Secretary for that office, is a former Oregon state senator.
