Mr. POCAN. Madam Speaker, I include in the Record the following proclamation. On behalf of the people of Wisconsin I, Mark Pocan, United States Representative of Wisconsin, do hereby proclaim February 22, 2021, as Supermarket Employee Day.
Whereas, there are nearly six million supermarket employees in the United States; and
Whereas, in Wisconsin there are 148,959 food retail jobs that generate $15,630,033,800 in economic activity; and
Whereas, supermarket employees provide all Americans with access to safe, healthy, and affordable food; and
Whereas, supermarket employees work to enhance the health and well-
being of each customer; and
Whereas, supermarket employees contribute and volunteer countless hours in their communities; and
Whereas, supermarket employees face unprecedented challenges keeping grocery shelves stocked during the COVID-19 Pandemic; and
Whereas, supermarket employees have and continue to meet and exceed these challenges, while displaying courage, compassion, dedication, and leadership, as well as exemplifying customer service and community outreach; and
Whereas, the need for supermarket employees is greater than ever because of current and growing consumer demands as well as their reputation for excellence; now therefore I, Mark Pocan, United States Representative of Wisconsin, do hereby proclaim February 22, 2021 as Supermarket Employee Day and ask all citizens to join in honoring our Supermarket Heroes.
