                       Monday, September 15, 2008

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of the UAW Local 
1050 on the occasion of their 60th anniversary, and in recognition of 
the Unions' exemplary work in the Greater Cleveland Area.
  Cleveland's UAW Local 1050 became a chartered member of the United 
Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America 
Union (UAW) 60 years ago this month. The UAW is one of North America's 
largest unions, representing workers from nearly all sectors of the 
economy. The UAW Local 1050 represents over eight-hundred employees of 
the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) Cleveland Work's Facility. The 
facility specializes in manufacturing large aerospace, small aerospace 
and car and truck wheels. A testament to the workers, the facility is 
thriving and even during times of economic hardship. The Union members 
work together to ensure each other's safety and collective success in 
the workplace. The UAW Local 1050 has numerous committees promoting 
community including a Veteran's Committee, Women's Committee, 
Recreational Committee and a Retiree's Committee.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor of the UAW 
local 1050 on the occasion of their 60th anniversary, and in 
recognition of the outstanding work of all of its members.

                          ____________________
