Expressing support for the recognition of August 17 through August 23, 
  2025, as ``Warehouse Worker Recognition Week'', the national event 
           celebrating the workers in the logistics industry.

Whereas warehouse workers are important in supporting and developing the United

Whereas, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, the total number of 
        warehousing and storage workers employed is over 1,800,000;
Whereas tariffs and supply chain disruptions have impacted the logistics 
        industry;
Whereas warehouse workers work around the clock, with little rest;
Whereas warehouse workers in the summer months work in dangerously hot 
        conditions, and warehouses can reach up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit;
Whereas warehouses in the Inland Empire manage distribution for most goods 
        traveling through the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports, which receive 40 
        percent of the Nation's imports; and
Whereas warehouse workers help individuals and communities through--

    (1) assisting in the supply chain;

    (2) helping to transport goods; and

    (3) packing, processing, and moving inventory: Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals of ``Warehouse Worker Recognition 
        Week'';
            (2) encourages increased awareness of the contributions of 
        warehouse workers;
            (3) acknowledges that warehouse workers are front line 
        workers; and
            (4) recommits to work together to reduce injuries and 
        support the needs of these front line workers.
