Pity the poor Republicans in Congress. For the last 35 years the Department of Labor has been anything but friendly toward working men and women. OSHA rules and regulations have gone unenforced, big business has been able to keep unions out of the work place, and box stores, like WalMart, have gotten away with not paying workers for overtime. Pretty much with the Department of Labor looking the other way.
Now along comes Obama and his appointment of Hilda Solis to head the Department of Labor. Apparently, Ms. Solis supports the Employee Free Choice Act, and this has Republican members of Congress recoiling in horror!
The current Labor Secretary is Elaine Chao, the wife of union hating Senator Mitch McConnell. I don't know about you, but I think it's high time we had a pro working person Secretary of Labor. Considering the anti American worker sentiment of the Republicans in this country, working people need all the friends they can get.
