Last Week’s Quiz: Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Cabinet was known as Ike's "Nine Millionaires and a Plumber" Cabinet because it included former Plumber’s Union President Martin Patrick Durkin, who had the shortest tenure of any U.S. Labor Secretary, serving less than eight months. Durkin had also previously served as Director of Labor for the State of Illinois, where he worked closely with then-U.S. Labor Secretary Frances Perkins. He also was a Democrat serving in a Republican administration, and pushed for revisions in the Taft-Hartley Act without success, which led to his resignation. He died two years after leaving office.
