WASHINGTON, D.C.<\/strong> \u2014 Kurt Brandt, UFCW\u2019s Assistant to the Director of the Food Processing, Packing, and Manufacturing Division, has been appointed to the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection (NACMPI). Kurt will be the only union representative on the advisory committee, making this well-deserved appointment welcome news for workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

With over 30 years\u2019 experience in the meatpacking industry, Kurt has performed everything from processing to manufacturing, developing both a knack and an appreciation for this tough but important work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

He has also been successful in bargaining contracts with the industry\u2019s largest employers, consistently helping workers win wages and benefits that they can be proud of.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The NACMPI is tasked with advising the Secretary of Agriculture on matters affecting federal and state inspection program activities. As someone who has both worked in the meatpacking industry and fought to make it better, Kurt\u2019s perspective will be an invaluable addition.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
