This resolution expresses support for designating August 17 through August 23, 2026, as "Warehouse Worker Recognition Week" to honor the contributions of workers in the logistics and warehousing industry. The resolution highlights that over 1.8 million Americans work in warehousing and storage jobs, often performing physically demanding work in difficult conditions, including extreme heat during summer months. The legislation notes the critical role these workers play in the nation's economy and supply chain, particularly in major logistics hubs like the Inland Empire, which handles goods from the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports that receive 40 percent of the country's imports. The House of Representatives calls for increased awareness of warehouse workers' contributions, acknowledges them as frontline workers, and commits to reducing workplace injuries and supporting their needs. This is a ceremonial resolution with no funding requirements or implementation timelines beyond the designated week in August 2026.
