Thread: Wanted: Union Labor Organizer

I came across this want ad today on Monster.com for anyone who might be interested. Looks like Labor Secretary Solis is recruting!
Why is our government involved in organizing unions and why must this person be bilingual ( bilingual in what I wonder)?

Good question: bilingual in what language? I guess we have to assume it is Spanish, but if I am not mistaken the Spanish spoken in Mexico differs from that spoken in Honduras or Peru.

Excellent questions, NoBueno! And I notice the address is in Chicago, to boot!
I think I'll find out what the heck BEC Inquiries is. Please do whatever research you can.

I think "BEC" stands for Backlog Elimination Center"

I noticed the Chicago address as well Captain. Lets just say that added to my curiosity for sure!. I googled US Department of Labor Employment & Training Administration to make sure it was what I thought it was. It is!

Everyone should be very concerned with this ! Solis is using a government agency (which she is in charge of) to organize labor unions whereby the legal status of some of these members could very well be called into question.

This seems to be right out of the ACORN play book, except the government is now the role of organizer!

Time to kick out all the dirt in Washington.
