Frontline federal employees at the USDA Food and Nutrition Service are responsible for ensuring that millions of Americans have access to the aid they need to feed their families every day.
They know first-hand how vital these nutrition assistance programs are, especially to children, and they want nothing more than to ensure their mission moves forward unimpeded by a government shutdown. FNS employees have dedicated their careers to eliminating hunger in the United States and delivering on their agency's important public health mission. Food assistance is just one of countless government services that are impacted during a government shutdown, which is why NTEU continues to urge Congress and the administration to reach an agreement that reopens government, puts all employees back to work and restores their lost income as soon as possible.
