YourVoice.Now Summary
When a natural disaster or other crisis hits, the farmworkers, meat processing workers, and grocery store employees who keep the food supply running are often among the hardest hit — and the least supported. This bill would create a $50 million USDA grant program to fund stabilization payments for those workers through their labor unions or membership organizations during disasters, helping them stay on their feet while keeping the country fed.
