For organized labor, enough's enough. The nomination of Hilda Solis is languishing in the Senate, with Republican protesting Solis's past association with labor groups and Democrats wondering about the tax problems her husband recently solved. Tomorrow, the AFL-CIO fights back. "Enough is enough," a spokesman said tonight Watch Friday for labor, women's groups and Hispanic groups to open fire against Republicans. "We worked with [Republicans] in good faith. Solis has answered all their questions but they continues to oppose her for partisan ideological reasons." No word on labor is satisfied with the level of White House pressure on Congress to get Solis approved.

Outrageous indeed - the GOP is apparently pursuing a "death by a thousand cuts" strategy to drag Obama down.

And....
1) you say "they continues to oppose.." when it should read "they continue to oppose"

2) "No word on labor is satisfied"??? I didn't know words on labor could be satisfied. Are you suggesting the English language itself is unhappy with the Administration's approach on this? Perhaps you mean "no word on whether or not labor is satisfied"

3) Personally, I'd put add a comma to make it "women's groups, and Hispanic groups..", but that's taking sides in the comma wars.
