Solis confirmed as Labor Secretary

Quote:
Her background as a fierce advocate for organized labor makes her a favorite of union leaders eager to wield more clout after years on the sidelines. She has pledged to increase oversight of wage and hour laws, worker safety regulations and rules covering overtime pay and pay discrimination.

Republicans had slowed the confirmation process as they probed Solis' role as treasurer for American Rights at Work, a nonprofit organization pushing for legislation to ease the formation of unions. She did not initially disclose the position to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, an action she called an oversight.


The articles about her try to highlight her support for Labor, but she seems largely like an across the board liberal.

But yes, she supports the EFCA, aka card check. I suppose this is Obama's present to the Unions for backing him.
