H.Res. 649 is a resolution expressing congressional support for designating August 17-23, 2025, as "Warehouse Worker Recognition Week" to honor the contributions of logistics and warehouse workers to the U.S. economy. The resolution affects over 1.8 million warehouse and storage workers across the country, particularly those in major distribution hubs like Southern California's Inland Empire, which handles 40 percent of the nation's imports. The resolution acknowledges the challenging working conditions warehouse workers face, including long hours, little rest, and dangerously hot temperatures that can reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit, while highlighting their critical role in supporting supply chains and delivering goods to individuals and communities. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or regulatory requirements—it simply calls on the House to support increased awareness of warehouse workers' contributions, recognize them as essential front-line workers, and commit to reducing workplace injuries and supporting their needs. The resolution was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
