                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 12, 1995
  Mr. KANJORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. Frank 
Schubert, a labor leader in northeastern Pennsylvania. Mr. Schubert 
will be honored by the Northeast Alliance of AFL-CIO Retirees on May 
11, 1995 for his outstanding contributions to labor.
  Since 1974, Frank has been director of District Council 87 of 
Pennsylvania's largest AFL-CIO public employee and health care worker's 
labor union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal 
Employees or AFSCME.
  AFSCME District Council 87 represents more than 5,000 public 
employees and health care workers in northeastern Pennsylvania. Mr. 
Schubert has served on the negotiations committee and the statewide 
safety committee since 1975. Frank also serves on the advisory 
committee of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Central Labor council.
  Frank is a member of the board of trustees of the Pennsylvania Public 
Employees Benefits Trust fund and a past labor representative on the 
Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment committee.
  Mr. Schubert's leadership in the labor movement has been evident 
during the 8 years that he served as a vice-president of the 
Pennsylvania AFL-CIO, and as a member of the executive committee of the 
Scranton Lackawanna Labor Management Committee. Also, for 8 years, he 
served as an executive board member of the greater Scranton Central 
Labor Council. He served as trustee of the Pennsylvania Public 
Employees Health and Welfare fund, and a trustee of the AFSCME Health 
and Welfare fund. Prior to his present position, Schubert was an AFSCME 
international staff representative.
  Mr. Speaker, the accomplishments listed here are a testament to the 
dedication this man has shown to the members of the AFSCME and the 
causes of the labor movement.
  I join with his friends, family and the community in thanking Frank 
Schubert for his leadership and am proud to commend him on a job well 
done.
