Matches stated direction

What they say

Gluesenkamp Perez said she worked with unions to obtain a written worker-pay commitment.

What the record shows

Her May 31, 2026 letter requested continued pay and benefits. Nippon’s July 17 statement promised full pay for idled employees through October 11. KPTV reported October 1 that the union announced an agreement extending pay through at least January 17, 2027, including workers not returning to work.

Limit: This checks her request and the reported announcement, not the signed agreement, actual payments or her role in securing it.
