President Barack Obama is scheduled to attend a Labor Day breakfast in Boston on Monday.
Obama will attend the Greater Boston Labor Council's annual Labor Day breakfast at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel.
The visit was first reported by the Boston Globe and confirmed Tuesday afternoon by the Greater Boston Labor Council.
"We are honored that the President will be joining us to celebrate a labor movement that is needed now more than ever," said Rich Rogers, executive secretary-treasurer of the labor council. "Workers have achieved several major victories to advance fairness adn dignity in Massachusetts this year - victories such as earned sick time, an increased minimum wage, a domestic workers' bill of rights, and other accomplishments that are inspiring workers across the nation. For the President to be joining us in Boston on Labor Day following such a momentous year is a great honor and we look forward to celebrating our shared commitment to raising standards for all working people."
The breakfast is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday. Additional information is expected to be released on Wednesday.
