UFCW International President Marc Perrone issued a statement on June 28 regarding the Farm Bill (H.R. 2) passing the U.S. Senate.
Perrone’s statement reads as follows:
“We support this Farm Bill and are encouraged by the Senate’s ability to place this bill above partisanship where it belongs.
“This is a vital piece of legislation that creates good jobs for hundreds of thousands of American families.
“As this moves to conference, we urge all participants to follow the Senate’s example and work in good faith together to forge a compromise that puts what’s best for hard-working communities above all else.”
