A bill to direct the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a grocery, farm, and food worker stabilization grant program.
This bill establishes a grant program to provide stabilization payments to farmworkers, meat processing workers, and grocery workers affected by disasters. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) would fund eligible organizations - such as labor unions or worker membership groups - to support these workers during natural or other disasters designated by the Secretary. It authorizes $50 million for the program, which must be used for stabilization payments and requires a report on program impacts after four years. The bill directly affects workers in these sectors and their representing organizations, focusing on disaster relief through federal grants.
