Budzinski Introduces Legislation to Secure Food Supply Chain, Support Food Workers

“The strength of our food supply chains depends on the support we provide to our grocery, farm and food workers,” said Congresswoman Budzinski. 

“The COVID-19 pandemic showed the fragility of our food system and shed light on the challenging conditions faced by our meatpackers and other frontline food workers. As we continue to address supply chain concerns, I’m proud to be introducing bicameral legislation with Senator Sherrod Brown to ensure that our frontline food workers have the safety net they need when these tough and often dangerous jobs face crisis or disaster. I’m so grateful to have the support of my friends at the United Food and Commercial Workers in this important effort and I look forward to providing permanent protections to the folks who help to keep our families fed.”

Keeping families fed is at the top of Nikki’s list of priorities.

Strengthening our food supply chain will not only ensure that our communities always have access to safe and healthy food, it’ll ensure the workers in the meatpacking and frontline food industries have the safety nets they deserve, and that our farmers are able to continue delivering the food we need to thrive and survive.

But, folks, the GOP is working tirelessly to gut critical food safety nets that so many families across Central and Southern Illinois rely on.
