In the U.S.A. today, there is a negative effect on workers who struggle to make ends meet and cannot afford necessities such as food and energy.


The effects of inflation have surpassed any increase in wages. It's being felt by many, leaving families to choose between paying for a meal or paying an electric bill.


With two out of three workers unable to afford a $400 emergency, there is a real need for businesses and unions to come together and provide a safety net in the event of a crisis.


Many corporations understand the value of quality work and performance. But do they know that they can do more to keep employees happy and motivated by offering help with basic needs?


The dire effects of climate disasters on union members and the organizations that would fall apart without them, have become more clear in recent years.


If you are part of AFL-CIO, unions such as

  • American Federation of Teachers (AFT),

  • Service Employees International Union (SEIU),

  • National Rural Letter Carriers' Association (NRLCA),

  • National Nurses United (NNU),

  • Transport Workers Union of America (TWU),

  • American Nurses Association (ANA),

  • Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU),

  • International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART),

  • American Postal Workers Union (APWU),

  • National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC),

  • International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF),

  • Fraternal Order of Police (FOP),

  • International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT),


...and so many more affected by climate and other disasters, then, Secure Foods has something to alleviate food pressure on the workforce when emergencies come to your doorstep.


Secure Foods is an opportunity for businesses and unions to work together to provide emergency food supplies to the workforce. We live in a world where more than one-third of U.S. counties are in risk areas for climate disasters. Having a backup stock of food that's ready to be distributed, can provide peace of mind and ensure that workers are taken care of during a crisis.


Ultimately, by investing in emergency food supplies, businesses and unions can help secure a more stable future for everyone. It's time for organizations and unions to confront the American workforce's day-to-day pressures and find ways to help each other weather the storm.


You can see that you, your Union, and your Employers are finding themselves in predicaments where there is a food shortage, especially in areas of the country at threat from climate and other disasters.


Consider that for household and business continuity alike, all parties want to find a relevant emergency food stock solution for the workforce.


Secure Foods is that solution.


Please do what you can to help yourself and your fellow union workforce establish this kind of relationship with your employers and union leaders.
