Bill 119 hr 2357, also known as the "Protecting Workers and Families Act," aims to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to prevent striking workers and their households from losing eligibility for benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The bill seeks to ensure that individuals who are participating in a strike do not face additional financial hardship by losing access to essential food assistance.The bill recognizes that workers have the right to strike as a means of advocating for better working conditions and fair wages. However, it also acknowledges that the loss of income during a strike can place a significant burden on workers and their families. By protecting their eligibility for SNAP benefits, the bill aims to provide a safety net for these individuals during times of financial instability.
In addition to safeguarding SNAP benefits for striking workers, the bill also includes provisions for ensuring that households with striking workers are not penalized or disqualified from receiving other forms of public assistance. This is intended to prevent further economic hardship for families who may already be struggling to make ends meet. Overall, the "Protecting Workers and Families Act" seeks to support the rights of workers to engage in collective bargaining while also ensuring that they have access to essential resources to support themselves and their families during times of financial hardship.
