Barack Obama’s Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis, has never shied away from her affinity for union bosses. Though she has never been a union member herself (nor has she ever worked in the private sector), her love of unions, apparently, comes from her parents’ membership in unions.

Like many Democratic political opportunists who have fought and climbed their way to the top of the political ladder like Solis has, Solis owes her political power almost exclusively to unions (literally).

Given Solis’ (and her boss’) general disdain for employers job creators the private sector, and their financial and organizational dependence on union bosses, Solis’ Labor Day message to the nation’s most notorious union, the SEIU, makes complete sense.

For 90 years, SEIU has organized workers to give them a stronger voice in the workplace, and now is not the time to let up. Some say that we cant afford unions right now, that labor unions are the problem in this country. But I think theyve got it just plain wrong. Unions like SEIU helped build Americas middle class. You are now — and always will be — part of the solution. [Emphasis added.]

Unfortunately for the rest of America, the SEIU’s (and Solis’) socialist “solution” is nationalized health care, open borders, no-vote unionization (through the delusionally-dubbed Employee Free Choice Act), and further attacks on America’s job creators.
