Thea Lee, Director of Policy, AFL-CIO

Jubilant is the word that comes to mind for the reaction of the

labor community to the selection by President Elect  Barack

Obama of  Rep. Hilda Solis to become the new Secretary of

Labor. The daughter of immigrants, from a union family,

Representative Solis has been described as having a resume

a mile long concerning the rights of workers, women, and the

environment.To provide us with greater insight about that the

new Labor Secretary and the  work cut out for her, protecting,

and extending workers rights in the economy, stopping the

hemorrhaging jobs, and growing the economy we're joined by

Thea Lee, Director of Policy of the AFL-CIO
