Illinois Cannabis Workers Win Decertification Election to Oust UFCW Union Bosses
November 5, 2026 // Employees of Zen Leaf Dispensary overwhelmingly voted United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 881 union bosses out of power at their workplace. The “decertification” effort, led by Zen Leaf employee Elias Driscoll, is the latest in a growing movement of cannabis industry workers seeking to remove unwanted unions. Driscoll filed the petition for his coworkers with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) last month with free legal aid from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys. The NLRB is the federal agency responsible for enforcing the National Labor Relations Act, a task that includes administering elections to install (or “certify”) and remove (or “decertify”) unions.
