Bill > HRes649

This resolution supports the recognition of August 17-23, 2025, as "Warehouse Worker Recognition Week" and highlights the critical role of warehouse workers in the United States economy. The resolution notes that over 1.8 million warehousing and storage workers are employed nationwide, and these workers face challenging conditions such as long hours and extreme summer temperatures, sometimes working in warehouses that can reach up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The resolution acknowledges the impact of tariffs and supply chain disruptions on the logistics industry and emphasizes warehouse workers' essential contributions in assisting supply chains, transporting goods, and managing inventory. By passing this resolution, the House of Representatives aims to support the goals of Warehouse Worker Recognition Week, encourage greater awareness of warehouse workers' contributions, recognize them as front-line workers, and demonstrate a commitment to reducing workplace injuries and supporting their needs.
