ROBERT B. REICH for Labor Secretary


Now that Hilda Solis has resigned as labor secretary.

REICH has respect for UNIONS something that even though Obama got the support of many UNIONS last elections does very little to show it.

The best secretaries, be they of Labor, Defense or State, will carefully carry water for their bosses and provide their bosses with the best possible advice.

There's got to be a few women around who not only understand these generic issues but who can also bring the particular concerns of half the working population -- women--to the table as well. Maybe Hilda can offer a few recommendations!
