Cannabist Co. cultivation workers in New Jersey vote to unionize
October 19, 2023 // New Jersey regulators certified the vote on Oct. 6. In a statement, UFCW Local 152 President Brian String said negotiations on a “fair contract” would commence. The local recently negotiated contracts for workers at Acreage Holdings-owned The Botanist dispensaries in Egg Harbor and Atlantic City, according to the news release. Along with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the UFCW is one of the major U.S. unions organizing workers in the legal cannabis industry. Both unions are aggressively courting workers and demonstrating more militancy in dealings with management.
