Warehouse Worker Recognition Week Act of 2026

This Act establishes an annual 'Warehouse Worker Recognition Week' to be held during the third full week of August each year, beginning in 2026. Congress finds that warehouse workers play an essential role in the American supply chain and economy, and that their contributions merit national recognition. The President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation each year calling upon federal, state, and local governments, businesses, and the people of the United States to observe the week with appropriate ceremonies and activities that honor warehouse workers. The Secretary of Labor, acting through the Bureau of Labor Statistics, shall compile and submit to Congress a biennial report on the warehouse workforce, including employment numbers, demographics, wages, and workplace safety data. The first report is due within 24 months of enactment, and subsequent reports every two years thereafter. No new federal funding is authorized or appropriated for this Act. The Department of Labor shall use existing appropriations to prepare the report. The Act shall sunset at the end of the fifth full calendar year after enactment, unless reauthorized by Congress. This Act is intended solely as an expression of congressional sentiment and a data-gathering measure; it does not create any new regulatory authority or impose any new obligations on private employers.
