Washington Report

NCC on Friday joined a broad group of food industry associations in a letter requesting that Congress support food industry workers, which are considered essential critical infrastructure workers during this time, in any aid package that might be considered when Congress returns in late April.

In addition to providing incentives and bonuses for our essential employees, taking extra measures to keep employees healthy and safe, and working around the clock to provide Americans with the food that they want, the chicken industry is stepping up to the plate, literally, by helping local communities with charitable and food donations.

NCC has created a single webpage with various COVID-19 updates, including a daily issues tracker, daily media analysis, government resources, resources for employers and an FAQ related to COVID-19 and chicken.
