Connecticut’s adult-use cannabis law requires cannabis establishments to enter into so-called labor peace agreements as a condition of getting a final license. That means unions have an easier task of organizing because the companies remain neutral.
In exchange for employers not interfering with organizing campaigns, workers agree not to engage in strikes, protests, or other work stoppages.
“That doesn’t ensure unionization,” said Mark Espinosa, president of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 919, which represents about 7,000 retail employees in Connecticut.
“That just give us the ability to go in there and talk to employees.”
