“The Pet Food Institute welcomed the news that Congress passed bipartisan legislation today enforcing September’s rail labor agreement,” said PFI President & CEO Dana Brooks. “Key ingredients in pet food are shipped via rail every day to pet food makers, and a rail strike would have significantly impacted the availability of dog and cat food to pet owners. By passing this legislation, Congress has protected the nation from the crippling economic impacts of a rail strike.”
