He graduated in 2011 with a Juris Doctor, magna cum laude.[3] Legal careerAfter graduating from law school, Saavedra clerked in the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico for Associate Justice Mildred Pabón Charneco. After two years of service, Saavedra then worked for O’Neill & Borges, one of the largest law firms in San Juan, Puerto Rico. While at O'Neill & Borges, he handled several labor and employment law matters, including cases of unjustified terminations, national origin discrimination and Americans with Disabilities Act claims. Saavedra also provided counseling to corporate clients in matters of business immigration, including acquiring work visas, and preparation of visa petitions, including L-1 visas for intracompany transferees.[4] In 2015, Saavedra joined the San Juan sub regional office of the National Labor Relations Board. As a field attorney, Saavedra investigated charges of unfair labor practices as defined by the National Labor Relations Act, litigated cases and conducted elections to determine union preferences. As a trial lawyer, Saavedra won several cases before the National Labor Relations Board, including cases concerning the employer's duty to bargain in good faith concerning preliminary collective bargaining matters.[5] Puerto Rico Secretary of Labor and Human ResourcesOn December 28, 2016, Saavedra was appointed Puerto Rico Secretary of Labor and Human Resources by then Governor-elect Ricardo Rosselló.[6] On February 11, 2017, Saavedra was confirmed by the Senate of Puerto Rico.[7] He is the youngest person in Puerto Rican history to lead the Puerto Rico Department of Labor. In his role as Secretary, Saavedra has focused on leading and overseeing the implementation of a labor reform which drastically amended most of the labor and employment laws in Puerto Rico. Also, Saavedra has led a deregulation agenda in the Department, amending or repealing over 100 existing rules and regulations.[8] During his tenure, several changes in labor regulations took place; Saavedra oversaw the first raise in over twenty years of Puerto Rico’s Unemployment insurance weekly benefits.[9] Also, under his leadership, the Puerto Rico Department of Labor implemented an Equal Pay Act, requiring equal payment between male and female employees for comparable work. The Act also prohibited employers from inquiring on a job applicant's salary history.[10] Saavedra also led the Puerto Rico Government's implementation concerning the Supreme Court of the United States' decision in Janus v. AFSCME, which altered the legal landscape of labor unions in the public sector.[11][12] Saavedra's guidance to public agencies was found to be in accordance to law by Puerto Rico state courts.[13] During Saavedra’s tenure, Puerto Rico was hit by Category 5 Hurricane María. As part of the devastation, thousands of Puerto Rican lost their jobs and unemployment claims rose to the highest numbers recorded in the island's history.[14] During the emergency, Saavedra took several actions to remind employers of their legal obligations concerning their employees, including options for the payment of salaries [15] and valid reasons for dismissals.[16] Saavedra also served as spokesperson for Governor Ricardo Rosselló during the emergency[17] and coordinated efforts with United States' Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta concerning rebuilding efforts and the state's workforce situation.[18] During the later half of 2018, and during Saavedra’s tenure, the unemployment rate in Puerto Rico dropped to the lowest levels in 50 years and the number of employed individuals reached the highest levels in 5 years.[19] General Counsel to the Governor of Puerto RicoOn February 24, 2019, Governor Rosselló promoted Saavedra to the position of General Counsel to the Governor of Puerto Rico.
