Luckily for us, the United Food and Commercial Workers Union on an international level represents thousands of cannabis workers across multiple states. Like current UFCW Local 152 members, these workers in the cannabis industry across the country also wanted representation, and it is our mission as a labor union to set the highest standards throughout the industry and fight to make our member’s lives better. Wherever cannabis is legalized, it is our mission to build a successful industry with a thriving, diverse, and skilled workforce. Governor Phil Murphy aims to treat participants as “patients, not criminals,” and according to NJ.gov, over 25,000 people are now enrolled for medical marijuana across the Garden State as of July 2nd, 2018. With the recent expansion of qualifying diseases to New Jersey’s medical cannabis program, the demand for medical cannabis will inevitably continue to increase. On a local level, UFCW Local 152 recognizes that jobs that pay better wages and provide better benefits—like the ones we represent—are vital to keeping our economy afloat and families out of poverty. We welcome the chance to represent these new cannabis workers.
