Labor Secretary Perez to address efforts to protect workers: NPC Luncheon on May 16

Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez -- who is increasingly mentioned as a possible running mate for Hillary Clinton if she becomes the Democratic presidential nominee -- plans to speak at a National Press Club Luncheon on Monday, May 16 at 12:30 p.m.

Lunch will be served at 12:30 p.m., with remarks beginning at 1 p.m., followed by a Q&A session ending at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $24 for Press Club members and one guest, and $38 for non-members. Tickets may be purchased online by going to the following link.

For questions, please email [email protected] or call (202) 662-7501.

In two and a half years at the Department of Labor, Perez has made his mark through a series of aggressive efforts aimed at protecting workers from everything from unfair overtime practices to conflicts of interest that can wreck their retirement savings.

His work at the Labor Department has made him a favorite of progressives, and, according to media outlets ranging from Politico to Bloomberg to Yahoo News, a possible vice presidential nominee.

NPC members who wish to attend the pre-luncheon reception must RSVP separately to [email protected] at least 48 hours in advance. Space may be limited. You must have a paid reservation to the luncheon to attend the VIP reception.

To submit a question in advance, put PEREZ in the subject line and email to [email protected] before the day of the luncheon.
