Fed Says They Won't Take A Position On UAW Contract Talks

Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said she sympathized with auto workers who haven't received a pay raise since 2003, but won't get involved in ongoing contract talks.

Solis said she wouldn't get involved in the talks between Detroit's Big Three automakers and the United Auto Workers and declined to take a position on whether automakers should agree to boost the $14 an hour wage for entry level workers.

"Those are things I will leave to management and the unions," she told reporters at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor Wednesday.
