OBAMA’S PRO-LABOR SECRETARY OF LABOR
By Dick Meister
Rarely has a nominee for any cabinet post drawn such widespread praise as
President-elect Obama’s choice for secretary of labor and for good reason:
Hilda Solis has the potential of returning the Labor Department to its
mission of defending and strengthening the status of American workers.
Solis, daughter of immigrants from Mexico and Nicaragua, has the skill,
experience, determination and firm presidential backing to shift the
department from what’s been the opposite direction under President Bush’s
secretary of labor, Elaine Chao.
