Workers at Potomac Holistics Medical Dispensary in Rockville, Md. Yesterday announced plans to unionize with UFCW Local 400. “Every single eligible worker at the store signed union authorization cards in support of the effort,” reports Local 400. The group filed for a union election through the National Labor Relations Board Thursday morning in the event that management fails to voluntarily recognize the union. The staff at Potomac Holistics are joined by other cannabis dispensaries in the region that have recently unionized. In August, workers at Zen Leaf in Germantown, Md. unionized with UFCW Local 400 and are currently negotiating their first collective bargaining agreement. In 2020, workers at MaryMed, LLC in Hurlock, Md., became the first workplace in the state’s cannabis industry to reach an agreement on a union contract. That same year, workers at DC Holistic Wellness became the first dispensary in the nation’s capital to unionize. Read more here. Comments are closed.
