Unions Push for Solis Confirmation

Oh wait… the unions support her, so the fact that her husband failed to pay taxes doesn’t matter.  Carry on.

Labor unions accused Republicans of seizing on questions about unpaid taxes to stall the confirmation of Labor Secretary nominee Hilda Solis because they dislike her policies.

The nation’s largest labor federation, the AFL-CIO, along with other unions, women’s and Hispanic groups, began calling and writing lawmakers Friday, urging them to confirm the California congresswoman.

“Enough is enough,” AFL-CIO president John Sweeney said, warning GOP senators “to stop obstructing and confirm Rep. Solis now.”
