A report released by the Economic Policy Institute found that unionization was key to ensuring new jobs created in the cannabis industry were safer, better paying, and more likely to provide quality benefits. Here in New York we’re proud to be leading by example and setting a standard for economic justice through quality careers.

“It’s definitely a great opportunity for jobs in general in the cannabis industry — whether medicinal or recreational. The market is going to expand tremendously. It’s definitely an opportunity for the underprivileged. It will be a great opportunity for low-income areas.” – Local 338 cannabis member Cherish Quijano (CuraLeaf) Check out our bio for a link to the article! #1u #CannabisWorkersUnion #CannabisWorkers #CannabisUnion #CannabisWorkersRising #NYCannabisUnion #StrongerTogether https://www.instagram.com/p/CRy1O3Vgp0I/?utm_medium=tumblr

ICYMI: Now, more than ever, legalizing adult-use cannabis is an exciting opportunity for New York. We are excited to see that it has been featured in @nygovcuomo Budget Proposal and we could not agree more that any proposal must prioritize social and economic justice, which should also include creating quality, union careers for communities across our State who are struggling. We’re looking forward to working with Governor Cuomo and the State Legislature to ensure that 2021 is the year New York legalizes adult-use cannabis! #CannabisWorkersUnion #LegalizeNY #NYcannabisWorkers https://www.instagram.com/p/CKPFrUzgeMJ/?igshid=16s2mrg3c6ty4

New York has an opportunity to legalize adult-use cannabis and create a brand new industry that generates much needed jobs and revenue. However, we cannot talk about this issue without also recognizing the importance of addressing social and economic justice, which must include pathways for a diverse industry and union jobs that allow workers to both thrive and succeed. Check out our own John Durso and @nys_aflcio President Mario Cilento’s Op-Ed in @nydailynews about how cannabis legalization is a critical building block in our State’s economic recovery.
