Believe it or not, there are already a whole host of sanctions against strikers in the current Food Stamp program. Rep. Joe Baca (D-CA) has introduced a bill to do away with these.

Also, see this

No member of a family unit shall participate in a food stamp program at any time that any able-bodied work eligible adult member of such household is on strike.

I was lazy putting the page together. The above is the part that’s important.

One would have to be a fool to think that this Republican maneuver is aimed at curbing spending. Once again it is part of a strategy of union busting — and in this case a form of intimidation — by the GOP.
