Alex Acosta to resign as Secretary of Labor

Alex Acosta has announced his resignation as Secretary of Labor.

Four months ago, the APWU Executive Board called on Acosta to resign for his conduct in 2007 while working as a U.S. Attorney in Miami, when he brokered an unlawful plea bargain with billionaire hedge fund manager Jeffery Epstein to evade federal sex-trafficking charges. The charges could have sent Epstein to prison for life, but Acosta’s office instead allowed him to plead to state charges and a 13-month sentence in county jail, with work privileges.
