Montclair budtenders first to join CEED union, focusing on cannabis
Ascend Montclair Dispensary workers have unionized, possibly helping set a standard for the thousands of workers expected to enter New Jersey’s budding cannabis industry.
On Monday, Feb. 7, Cannabis Engineers Extractors and Distributors — or CEED — Local 420 announced the ratification of Ascend’s first labor contract for the workers, known as “budtenders.”
Ascend’s Montclair workers are the first to seek CEED as their bargaining unit in New Jersey.
