An association spokesperson had no official update on the situation when reached Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A serious fan of the Boston Bruins, Walsh showed an encyclopedic knowledge of the sport in videos posted online during his tenure from 2014 to 2021 as mayor of Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As labor secretary, Walsh helped broker a <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-economy-strikes-congress-94089be6a4f469444da99fec9dde1b3e\">temporary work agreement between major freight railroads and their unions,<\/a> preventing the risk of a strike that could have disrupted the U.S. economy ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. Congress later imposed a contract on the unions after workers failed to ratify the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An administration official said Tuesday that Walsh was expected to leave his post after President Joe Biden\u2019s State of the Union address, as did a second person familiar with Walsh\u2019s plans, who stressed that the plan was not yet final. Both people spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss departure plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walsh\u2019s departure would make him the first of Biden\u2019s Cabinet secretaries to leave. <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-politics-united-states-government-ron-klain-e00cadb3cf72708394fa324e294265f4\">White House chief of staff Ron Klain has his last day at the White House on Wednesday.<\/a> And last week, Biden announced the upcoming departure of Brian Deese, the director of the National Economic Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incoming chief of staff Jeff Zients has spent the last several months working to prepare the administration for potential staff turnover as Biden hit the two-year mark in office. After two years of unusual stability in the staffing ranks, White House officials have telegraphed that additional changes are likely in the coming months as burned-out staff seek new opportunities and are replaced by those with fresh energy \u2014 and as Biden prepares for the expected launch of his reelection campaign in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden noted in a January speech to mayors that Walsh was making sure that government construction projects paid a prevailing wage and that apprenticeship programs were giving blue-collar workers needed skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walsh, 55, moved into politics after rising through the ranks of a construction union. At the age of 21, he joined Laborers\u2019 Local 223 and eventually became its president. He was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1997 and stayed in the legislature until being elected mayor. He was also formerly head of the Boston Building Trades union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/nhl-business-sports-hockey-donald-fehr-cc0ec725330d241d699da3d7b3d8ad29\">NHLPA began its pursuit of a successor for Fehr<\/a> in late August, naming a seven-player search committee and hiring a firm to assist. Fehr, best known for his lengthy career in charge of the Major League Baseball Players Association, started working for hockey\u2019s union in December 2010 and had been executive director since 2013, overseeing two collective bargaining negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walsh figures to take over at a time of growing NHL revenues with three years remaining until the next round of CBA talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have met Marty a couple of times when he was the Mayor of Boston, but beyond that there\u2019s nothing to add,\u201d NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. \u201cI\u2019m not going to comment on who may or may not be the next executive director. It would be inappropriate, and if I went far enough, could violate the federal labor laws. The fact of the matter is, we\u2019re very respectful of what the players are doing. They\u2019re going to conduct the process for a new executive director as they see fit, and whoever it is we\u2019ll work with.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A serious fan
