AS HOLLYWOOD STRIKES, SEN. JOHN FETTERMAN INTRODUCES FOOD STAMPS BILL FOR WORKERS ON PICKET LINE

[BeckyDem]

15. Reagan's court did that, no surprise.

Fetterman's bill:

The new bill would repeal the SNAP eligibility restriction on striking workers, and protect public sector workers who are fired for striking from being categorized as having “voluntarily quit,” which would render them ineligible. The legislation would also clarify that any household that qualifies for SNAP benefits can receive them, regardless of whether someone who lives in the household is on strike from their job.


The attention to the cause of workers feeding their families and attention to how entangled the process can be for those who manage to receive funds while striking is a good thing.
