                        Tuesday, October 3, 2023

  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Mr. Nino Green 
for his dedication to the working men and women of Michigan and to 
congratulate him on his induction into the Upper Peninsula Labor Hall 
of Fame.
  Nino began his accomplished career as a lawyer in 1964 and soon 
thereafter was appointed as the first executive director of the Upper 
Peninsula Legal Services, where he provided free, high quality legal 
advice and representation for individuals and families in need. In 
1969, Mr. Green transitioned to a private practice where he tirelessly 
worked to defend the rights of Michigan laborers.
  A celebrated mediator, Nino Green represented federal employees 
before the E.E.O.C., Merit System Protection Board, F.A.A., and U.S. 
Forest Service. He also argued cases before the Michigan Workers 
Compensation Board, Employment Security Commission. Employment 
Relations Commission, Civil Service Commission, Department of Civil 
Rights, and State Employee's Retirement System. In addition, he led 
negotiations for collective bargaining agreements which settled strikes 
at St. Francis Hospital in Escanaba, Lodal in Kingsford, and Celotex in 
L'Anse.
  Mr.Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Mr. Nino Green for his 
extensive efforts to protect workers' rights and serve his community. 
On behalf of Michigan's First Congressional District, I'd like to thank 
Mr. Green for his devotion to the workers of Northern Michigan and 
congratulate him on this well-deserved accomplishment.
