Labor unions press for confirmation of Solis

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."

Enzi has spent weeks asking Solis for detailed written answers about her work with the group and suggested that Solis recuse herself from debate over the Employee Free Choice Act. [aka: "Freedom for Unions to Intimidate Act."]

"Exercising due diligence and carefully reviewing nominations for critical cabinet positions isn't 'political' — it's the job of the Senate,"

Solis insists she will not stay out of the debate on card-check. Unions consider Enzi's questions a thinly veiled effort to expose Democrats early on what is expected to be a major fight over the union-backed measure.
