Hilda Solis sworn in at Labor


She'd been in a "secret" hold for eons. About time.

(CNN) — Vice President Joe Biden swore in California Rep. Hilda Solis as the next Secretary of Labor Friday Morning, one of three cabinet posts that had yet to be formally filled.

"When she held hearings on sweatshops she was heard," Biden sad of Solis Friday. "When she fought to protect low income and minority communities from landfill and pollution and environmental hazards - she was heard. And in Congress, when she stood up, she stood up to level the playing field for workers to organize - she was heard."
