In honor of our Latino communities' rich contributions to this Nation, I am proud today to recognize Rogelio ``Roy'' Soria of the Transportation Workers Union of America Local 556 for his tireless advocacy for worker rights. As a shop steward, executive board member for his local, and recording secretary of the Chicago metro chapter of the Labor Council for Latin-American Advancement, Roy has dedicated himself to building a multiracial unity as we fight for fair wages, for dignity, and for justice. Because of Roy's leadership, we passed the 2022 Illinois Workers' Rights Amendment, enshrining the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively in Illinois, and expanded the Illinois Sick Leave Act to 30,000 aviation workers in Illinois. On behalf of Illinois' Third Congressional District, I commend Rogelio ``Roy'' Soria for his unwavering commitment to worker solidarity and the power of collective action. Mr. Speaker, ``congratulations,'' ``felicidades'' to Roy, and I thank him for his incredible leadership. {time} 1045 Honoring Hugo Manzo
