Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Food Marketing Institute Action Center.The short explanation of this alert was: SENATE VOTE SCHEDULED ON CARD CHECK BILL FMI URGES MEMBERS TO CONTACT YOUR SENATORS ASK THEM TO VOTE "NO" ON UNION ORGANIZING BILL As early as Wednesday, June 20th, the Senate could vote on the "Employee Free Choice Act", the so-called Card Check bill (H. R. 800). This proposal would take away secret ballot voting rights of American workers on the critical question of deciding whether or not they want to be represented by a union. FMI urges all supermarket members to contact your Senators immediately and ask them to vote "NO" on cloture on the motion to proceed to H. R 800. Sixty votes are needed in the Senate to invoke cloture which cuts off debate and allows for a vote on the Card Check bill. Many of you have already sent a letter to your Senators on this issue. It is important that you do it again so that your Senators will have your views on this issue fresh in their minds as they go to vote.
