                             UPS-TEAMSTERS

  (Mrs. SYKES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SYKES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the historic labor 
deal reached between the Teamsters and UPS. This is a monumental 
achievement for organized labor, underscoring the power of unions that 
make up the backbone of our economy and our democracy.
  I would especially like to recognize Teamsters Local 348, which 
represents UPS workers in Ohio's 13th Congressional District.
  These hardworking, dedicated union members were on the front lines 
throughout the entire pandemic, keeping our country running by 
consistently delivering essential supplies, food, and medicine to 
communities

across our district, as well as throughout the country.
  This historic contract acknowledges their hard work and sacrifices 
and raises the bar for all workers in all industries.
  I was proud to join my Labor Caucus colleagues last week in sending a 
bipartisan letter reaffirming my constituents' right to collectively 
bargain, and I will always stand with workers to support higher wages, 
safer working conditions, and better benefits.

  Congratulations, again, to the 340,000 Teamsters at UPS, and I thank 
them for their dedication to setting a new standard for workers across 
the country.
