Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis expects President Obama and Congress to reach a deal to avoid going over the financial cliff on Jan. 2, 2013, but even if they don’t settle things in time, nothing much will happen in her department if mandatory spending cuts – akak “sequestration” – are implemented.
“I do not expect our day-to-day operations to change dramatically on or immediately after January 2, should sequestration occur. This means that we will not be executing any immediate personnel actions, such as furloughs, on that date,” she told Department of Labor employees in a memorandum circulated today.
