WASHINGTON (AP) - Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack
has acknowledged that it will be "several months" before meat
inspectors are furloughed as part of across-the-board spending cuts that
took effect March 1.
Vilsack detailed how the Agriculture Department
will move forward on the furloughs at a House Agriculture Committee
hearing Tuesday. He said each meat inspector will likely be furloughed
11 or 12 days, instead of 15 days as the Obama administration earlier
claimed.
The White House has used the meat inspector
furloughs as one example of how the cuts will affect the economy.
Meatpacking plants cannot operate without inspectors, so the furloughs
will cause plants across the country to shut down intermittently.
Vilsack said the process will be complicated because of negotiations with labor unions that represent the meat inspectors.
