“Throughout his career, Secretary Marty Walsh has shown himself to be a committed public servant, and it is fitting he should lead a department dedicated to the welfare of America’s workforce. The more than two million highly skilled aerospace and defense workers are the crown jewel of our industry, and their wellbeing is our top priority.
