Furloughs of meat inspectors will take "several months" to roll out, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told lawmakers on Tuesday.
The department will send out notices to union representatives this week letting them know furloughs are possible, Vilsack told members of Congress at a House Agriculture Committee hearing, according to multiple media reports.
"We will do everything we can to minimize the disruption," said Vilsack. "We are looking at a several-month period before furloughs can be implemented."
