Ms. BUDZINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the incredible career of Glyn Ramage and to congratulate him on his retirement. A resident of Millstadt, Illinois, and a lifelong labor champion, Glyn has inspired so many, including myself. [[Page H895]] For 25 years, Glyn served as business manager for the Downstate Illinois Laborers' District Council. During that time he fought to secure better benefits and higher wages for more than 10,000 union families. As a member of the Illinois Capital Development Board, Glyn brought workers' voices to the table that oversees State construction projects. He also chairs the Illinois Laborers' and Contractors' Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program to help build the next generation of construction workers. I thank Glyn for all he has done for Illinois' workers, the labor movement and our community. I congratulate Glyn on his retirement. ____________________
