                       Thursday, October 3, 2013

  Ms. BROWNLEY of California. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize 
John Beaumont, an influential and respected individual whose work on 
behalf of California's labor community is not only remarkable, but 
truly commendable.
   John began his long-standing career as a labor leader in Ventura 
County. It was here where he joined Branch 2902 of the National 
Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) and began his commitment to the 
organization and the thousands of individuals it represents. Since its 
establishment in 1889, the National Association of Letter Carriers 
(NALC) has been safeguarding the rights, liberties and well-being of 
the United States Postal Service employees.
   Over the trajectory of his career, John has successfully climbed the 
professional ladder on multiple occasions. He served as the NALC Branch 
231's Financial Officer and was also elected as the Director of 
Education for the California State Association of Letter Carriers 
(SCALC). He served as the California State Association of Letter 
Carriers Vice President and subsequently became the organization's 
first, full-time President.
   John's perseverance and overarching dedication to our labor force 
has been instrumental in the fruition and strengthening of California's 
working families. Under John's unwavering leadership, dozens of NALC 
branches across the state of California have prospered and successfully 
executed numerous labor campaigns and initiatives.
   John exemplifies the finest in California's workforce. His 
dedication to our community and state is one that I applaud. It gives 
me great pleasure to join Tri-Counties Central Labor Council in 
honoring John Beaumont's work.
