What this bill does
H.Res. 1483 is a symbolic resolution expressing House support for designating August 17 through August 23, 2026, as "Warehouse Worker Recognition Week." It does not create any new law, program, or funding. Instead, it states that the House supports the goals of this recognition week, encourages greater public awareness of warehouse workers' contributions, acknowledges these workers as front-line employees, and commits to working to reduce workplace injuries and address their needs. The resolution cites Bureau of Labor Statistics figures showing more than 1.8 million people employed in warehousing and storage, and notes conditions such as long hours, high heat in warehouses during summer months, and the role of Inland Empire warehouses in handling goods moving through the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports.
The resolution primarily affects how Congress publicly characterizes warehouse and logistics workers; it does not impose obligations on employers, workers, or government agencies, and does not change any existing labor laws or regulations.
The bill was introduced on August 13, 2026, by Rep. Norma Torres of California, with numerous cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. As a simple resolution, it would not go to the Senate or the President; if passed by the House, it would express the chamber's sentiment without carrying the force of law. Its next step would be consideration by the committee or the full House.
