Union Organizing in the Cannabis Industry: What Businesses Need to Know

March 11, 2021

As the cannabis industry continues to grow, we are seeing a significant increase in union organizing efforts across the country and in New England, in particular. Every cannabis business is target for union organizing. As a result, cannabis companies should consider their strategies for dealing with labor organizing. Join us for a webinar exploring this important issue. We will discuss the pros and cons of entering into labor peace agreements; strategies for dealing with union organizing efforts; employee education; recent NLRB and state labor board decisions regarding the cannabis industry; and the possibility of a union bypassing an election for grow workers. We will also explore differences in state and federal law with regard to union organizing and the ways in which these distinctions can inform workplace operations now.
