On the recordApril 29, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the hardworking men and women of the UAW in my home State of North Carolina. UAW workers reached a historic new agreement with Daimler Trucks, which included a record wage increase, profit sharing for the first time ever, a cost- of-living increase, and much more. Right now, support for unions is near an all-time high, and we are seeing this momentum pick up in North Carolina and across the South. I am proud to stand with the new generation of workers as they exercise their collective strength and make their voices heard. Unions built our middle class, and I will always stand with the men and women of labor at the local, State, and Federal levels. Once again, I congratulate the UAW on this historic contract agreement. ____________________
