Labor on the Move: Solomon to Lead IAM’s Legislative Department(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

IAM Assistant Legislative and Political Action Department Director Hasan Solomon (photo) has been tapped to  head the legislative duties of the department, which involves working to pass legislation on Capitol Hill and in state governments that benefits working families. “Hasan Solomon has years of experience working in legislative halls across the country on behalf of IAM members,” said IAM president Tom Buffenbarger. “As Director, he will be able to enhance the department’s legislative and political roles to ensure what we achieve at the bargaining table isn’t undone by politicians in Washington, D.C., and across the nation.” Regarded as one of the top labor lobbyists on Capitol Hill, Solomon last year was named “Labor Leader of the Year” by the National Black State Legislators Association. In 2004, the Washington Bar Association made him their “Young Lawyer of the Year.” Maryland Governor-elect Martin O’Malley called on Solomon to chair his Labor, Licensing and Regulations transition team in 2004. He is a native Washingtonian; his wife, Alya, is the Metro Washington Council’s Assistant Legislative/Political Coordinator.
