Each entity had refused to recognize the original collective bargaining agreement reach prior to the sale, UFCW 5 had filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board in April of 2020. After months of negotiation a mediated settlement was reached in November of 2020.“This was a hard-fought settlement. Even though there were less than fifty workers involved, it was important to show the cannabis industry, even if you sell your company, if there is a union contract you must recognize it.” Said Jim Araby, Director of Strategic Campaigns for UFCW 5.“While I no longer work at Have-a-Heart, I appreciate the union going to bat for workers and making sure that cannabis companies, whether large or small, understand that you can’t walk away from deals made that protect workers and ensure that there is pay equity and benefits offered to cannabis workers along with protecting their voice.” Said Rafael Guevera, former worker at Have-a-Heart Oakland.UFCW 5 represents hundreds of cannabis workers across the San Francisco Bay area and is one of the fastest growing unions of cannabis workers in the country. The local union is a part of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, which represents more than 10,000 workers in the cannabis industry nationwide.For more information contact Jim Araby at 510-599-0488 or email at jaraby@ ................
