United Fresh Launches Interactive Card Check Resource Center
January 15, 2009
Recently, United Fresh has heard from many members concerned about
federal legislation that will be considered during the 111th Congress.
This legislation, dubbed the Employee Free Choice Act, and commonly
referred to as "card-check" legislation, will fundamentally change
union certification procedures and will serve to erode employees'
workplace security and upset the important balance between the
interests of union leadership and those of employers.
Because of this concern we have created an interactive Card-Check Resource Center
on our United Fresh website that will provide our members important
information about this legislation and its impact on the produce
industry. You will also be able to take action firsthand by using our Grassroots Action Network to write a letter to your Member of Congress and Senators expressing your concerns about this legislation.
As this issue moves forward in Congress we will continue to update
this webpage to provide you the latest information along with
additional grassroots action items with which you can get involved. For
more information, contact Kam Quarles, vice president of government relations and legislative affairs at 202-303-3400 ext. 427.
