The AFL-CIO recognizes Perez’s record of advocacy work on behalf of working families, immigrants, and others vulnerable to discrimination in housing, employment, voting, and at the workplace.
“At a time when our politics tilts so heavily toward corporations and the very wealthy, our country needs leaders like Tom Perez to champion the cause of ordinary working people. And working families need and deserve a strong advocate as their Secretary of Labor,” said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.
