UFCW was named on NJ.com’s “21 people and places to watch in the N.J. cannabis space in 2021,” an alphabetical list of 21 influential people and places expected to shape the cannabis market in New Jersey this year.

From the article:

“The United Food and Commercial Workers already represents some cannabis employees in New Jersey, and represents thousands nationally. Expect the union’s relevance and interest to grow in New Jersey because the state expects operators to have “peace agreements” with unions, which say the company will agree not to oppose union activity.”

See the full list on NJ. com here. We certainly plan to continue to fight on behalf of cannabis industry workers up and down the Garden State!
