| Dear Donna, Cuts to overtime pay. Safety regulations gutted. Tax dollars used for corporate giveaways. Mining disaster cover-ups. These are just a few "highlights" from Elaine Chao's deplorable tenure as President Bush's Secretary of Labor. But change is coming. President-elect Obama has just named Rep. Hilda Solis of California, a Board Member of American Rights at Work, as the next Secretary of Labor. We will finally have a Secretary who will actually protect working people – not just big business. What should be first on Rep. Solis' list of priorities? You decide! Vote now on what's most important to you, and we'll send your feedback to Rep. Solis. Rep. Solis has been a member of our board for over five years, and she's been a champion of progressive causes for decades. She has her work cut out for her – it will take years to undo the damage caused by Secretary Chao's irresponsible policies. As she prepares her agenda for the new Department of Labor, your voice can help ensure that it focuses on the pressing needs of America's workers. Check out the list and vote now – share your concerns with the new Secretary. What would you have our next Secretary of Labor focus on? - Passing the Employee Free Choice Act.
- Supporting Workplace Safety.
- Protecting Workers from Wage Theft.
- Raising the Minimum Wage.
- Supporting Working Families.
- Ending the "Supervisor Scam."
Sound like a lot? It is. And that's only the beginning. It's imperative that our new Secretary of Labor hears from people like you – not just from Washington insiders. Cast your vote. We'll tally the results and share your top priorities with Rep. Solis when she steps into office. Don't wait. Help create a meaningful 'to-do' list for the next Secretary of Labor! When you're done, be sure to spread the word to a friend! Thank you for all that you do! Sincerely, Liz Cattaneo
