Make no mistake, those attempting to block this rule want to make it harder for workers to have a voice on the job. Shortening the period between the filing of a petition and the election means less time for anti-worker employers to intimidate, harass, and fire pro-union employees. This rule creates a fairer process and we look forward to seeing it in action. We commend President Obama for vetoing this ill-advised legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">###<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Join the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufcw.org\">United Food and Commercial Workers International Union<\/a> (UFCW) online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufcw.org\">www.ufcw.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">We are 1.3 million families standing together to build an economy that every hard-working family deserves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sharepoint.www.ufcw.org\/Communications\/Communications%20Shared%20Work\/AppData\/Local\/Microsoft\/Windows\/Temporary%20Internet%20Files\/Content.Outlook\/AppData\/Local\/Microsoft\/Windows\/Temporary%20Internet%20Files\/Content.Outlook\/UF8394FE\/www.facebook.com\/UFCWinternational\">www.facebook.com\/UFCWinternational<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/UFCW\">@UFCW<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C.\u2014The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) today released the following statement after President Obama vetoed legislation that would have blocked the National Labor Relations Board\u2019s (NLRB) rule to streamline union elections. \u201cAs we have said from the very beginning, the NLRB\u2019s modest rule to modernize and streamline union elections is a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":222,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[7,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19761","press_releases","type-press_releases","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-industries","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>UFCW Statement on Veto of Legislation Blocking NLRB Election Rule - The United Food &amp;
