Next Government Union Bailout Can Be Stopped
Speaker Kevin McCarthy has vowed that the House will “use the power of the purse” to “check” Big Labor President Joe Biden’s policies.
Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis resigned Wednesday afternoon, three sources told BuzzFeed.
Solis was one of the least-visible members of President Barack Obama’s cabinet, rarely appearing on national television or with the president.
“She was involved a lot in labor specific stuff but you didn’t see her out there a lot on, or being listened to, giving the side of what working families would think about taxes, health care, etc,” said one Labor official.
A White House official confirmed that her resignation did not come as a surprise to President Obama.
One labor official said Solicitor of Labor Patricia Smith is under consideration to replace Solis. Previously she was the New York State Commissioner of Labor.
Solis, a former member of Congress from California, has served as Secretary of Labor since 2009. A spokesman for the Department of Labor said Solis’ final day in office is “to be determined.”
