Mr. Speaker, I rise to share what feedback I received from the northwest Indiana farmers on the Agricultural Advisory Council I met with this week. Our farmers are getting crushed. The conflict in Iran has pushed diesel above $6 a gallon. Tariffs are driving up fertilizer costs and closing agricultural markets. Immigration policies have disrupted the legal workforce farmers depend on, and the rush to build data centers is putting upward pressure on electricity costs.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my continued solidarity with the members of United Steelworkers Local 71 in northwest Indiana, who have surpassed 6 months of being locked out of work by British Petroleum. While I appreciate the indication that contract negotiations will resume, we must do more to ensure that American workers are never placed in this position again.
SOLIDARITY WITH AMERICAN UNION WORKERS··Share
The men and women who pour our steel and power our grid built the middle class with a union card in their pocket. This bill makes sure the next generation of workers can earn one without waiting to be heard for months, years, or decades. I rise today to express my strong support for H.R. 5408, the Faster Labor Contracts Act. My good friend, the chairman of the Education and Workforce Committee, mentioned this administration and how much they like the working public, working men and women.
