Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Western New York Area Labor Federation. For 25 years, the WNYALF has fought to ensure working people in our community have a strong voice to secure higher wages, safer workplaces, better benefits, and greater economic stability for themselves and their families. The Buffalo-Niagara region was built by labor unions. They built our factories, our roads, our schools, our neighborhoods, and the communities that we call home. I want to recognize my dear friend, the president of the WNYALF, Denise Abbott, and the countless union members, organizers, stewards, and leaders who have carried this movement forward. Under Denise's leadership, the WNYALF continues the essential work of bringing fairness and dignity to the workplace and putting more money into the pockets of working families. The future of western New York will be built by working people, and we will always fight to ensure that organized labor is the defining force in building that future. I congratulate the Western New York Area Labor Federation on one- quarter century of solidarity, service, and strength. Here is to the next 25 years and many, many more to come.
