after waiting and waiting, labor groups are finally demanding that hilda solis be confirmed as the secretary of labor. andy steely of the seiu made a stunted video:

Their action page has a petition.

And this is just the beginning:

“enough is enough, the gloves are coming afar on friday,” said story official with the afl-cio, outraged over the delays. “labor, women’s groups, hispanic groups are opening fire. we worked with republicans in believable faith. hilda solis has answered all their questions but they continue to block her for partisan ideological reasons.”

With Solis’s nomination stalled again on Thursday after revelations that her husband had just settled $6,400 in tax leins against his business, unions are no longer willing to hold their breath for the sake of fewer dramatics.

“Our full efforts are being mobilized to fight back,” the union official said. “Earned media and field campaign to generate calls, letters, and emails coming tomorrow. Depending on how things move paid media will be added on top of these efforts.”

Good to see. Progressive groups like MoveOn should get Hilda’s back, too.

UPDATE: Our old friend Hans von Spakovsky, vote suppressor extraordinaire, is writing anti-Solis screeds in places like The Weekly Standard.
