                             SUPPORTING UAW

  (Ms. STEVENS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. STEVENS. Madam Speaker, organized labor is a beautiful thing, and 
it is incredibly evident today in the final hours of the UAW contract 
negotiations.
  I want all of my UAW friends, neighbors, and hardworking men and 
women of Michigan to know that I have their back from the Halls of 
Congress to the well of this very floor.
  While working in the Obama administration during the auto rescue, 
while working on that auto rescue, we saw the union take concessions.
  Madam Speaker, 14 years later, the companies have rebounded. They 
have record profits, and now is the time to deal workers back in.
  That is what is being negotiated. That is what our friends in 
organized labor are pushing for--dignity and justice.
  I stand with them today, tomorrow, and the tomorrow after that.
  We will see you in Michigan, friends.
