                       HONORING CHARLES HALL, JR.

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Charles Hall, Jr., as a 
part of my Black History Month celebration.
  Mr. Hall is the president of the Retail, Wholesale, and Department 
Store Union, Local 108, in Maplewood, New Jersey. His commitment to his 
members is without equal.
  For more than 21 years, Mr. Hall, Jr., has improved wages, health 
benefits, and working conditions for workers throughout the Northeast. 
He has increased diversity in his own staff and companies across the 
area.
  Recently, he organized more than 2,000 exploited Latino workers and 
got them higher wages. In addition, he got health benefits for local 
nursing home workers and their first raise in 10 years.
  His contributions to my district are immeasurable. That is why I 
celebrated his work during a Black History Month celebration on 
February 21.
  Charles Hall, Jr., is a great man and deserves all of these accolades 
and more.
