Talk:Hilda Solis begins new job as US Secretary of Labor

Original reporting notes
I attended this event, counted the crowd and listened to the secretary speak. Evrik (talk) 18:36, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Employees?
A reference is made to 'employees' in the third paragraph but does not say what employees working for who: Solis' arrival was announced on Wednesday to all employees who were invited to attend an informal gathering to greet her on her first day.

 * To me it is pretty clear that it is the employees of the Department of Labor. Clarify it further if you think it is necessary. --SVTCobra 00:19, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Attribute pov statements
"she is seen as being pro-worker, after years of business-friendly leadership under the Bush Administration." This is an opinion. It must to be attributed to someone. Please read WN:NPOV and WN:WEASEL. --SVTCobra 21:09, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * "We’ve heard tell that after eight years of the Bush administration, employees in more than one federal governmental department have welcomed the new Obama team members as though they were a liberating force. Yesterday, the welcome was especially heartwarming when employees greeted Labor Department Secretary Hilda Solis, confirmed just two days ago."
 * "Solis was also heard telling some in the crowd 'It's time to put labor back in the Department of Labor.'"
 * "Labor groups have been aggressively pushing for Solis, 51, who is to begin work today. She gives the department, with an annual budget of about $53 billion and nearly 17,000 employees, a decidedly pro-worker tilt after years of business-friendly leadership under the Bush administration."
 * How many more sources do you need? In retrospect, the language used may be too close to that Boston Globe source. Suggestions for reworking it? Evrik (talk) 16:51, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

The line in question was sourced and appropriate. I'd like the archived version to go back to this. Evrik (talk) 17:44, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
