NRA Offers Solutions to White House on Supply Chain Disruption

After participating in a meeting of the White House Supply Chain Disruption Task Force weeks ago, the Association—in a letter to the White House on Monday—addressed the effects of the supply chain bottleneck on the restaurant industry and offered immediate and long-term solutions to revitalize the industry to pre-pandemic levels and restore restaurants as vital contributors to their communities. In addition to urging the Administration to use any tools at its disposal to remedy the nation’s worker shortage and quickly stop the current backlog, the Association also called for:
​

• tackling comprehensive immigration reform
• expanding employment opportunities for former incarcerated persons
• implementation of training programs to allow 18-to-21-year-old individuals to become truck drivers
• supporting passage of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021
• suspending or reforming the Jones Act to allow freight to move more effectively between U.S. ports
• removing burdensome tariffs on food and beverage products
• opening more markets and eliminating barriers surrounding importation of food and animal products
