                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 19, 2012

  Mr. CARNAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Teamsters Local 
Union No. 600, in celebration of their 100th anniversary and service to 
the members of the St. Louis Metropolitan Area.
  Teamsters Local Union No. 600 is deserving of special public 
recognition for its many accomplishments. It has distinguished record 
of service to working men and women, as well as to their families. Its 
immeasurable contributions to the advancement of the union labor 
movement in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area have made our community a 
better place.
  Teamsters Local Union No. 600 has worked to improve the working 
conditions, benefits, and wages for the men and women of the St. Louis 
Metropolitan Area. In addition, their influence was appreciated and 
felt by those who drove freight trucks, worked in warehouses, made milk 
deliveries, and worked at the Anheuser Busch beer distributorships.
  But there work has not only been limited to St. Louis. As a Member 
the US House of Representatives' Transportation and Infrastructure 
Committee, the Teamsters Local Union No. 600 advice and counsel has 
been invaluable to me when working on local, regional, and national 
transportation issues.
  Teamsters Local Union No. 600 has also lead the way in providing 
employers in the transportation industry with the best trained 
employees, making it possible for the goods and services that millions 
of Americans rely on to be delivered safely, on time and in good 
condition. This kind of commitment by the Teamsters makes our US 
economy work, grow, and prosper for all us.
  Again, I congratulate Teamsters Local Union No. 600 on their 100th 
Anniversary, and wish them more success in the future.

                          ____________________
