Bill Summary

To facilitate the unionization of the cannabis workforce

AI Summary

This bill aims to facilitate the unionization of the cannabis workforce by requiring cannabis establishments to enter into "labor peace agreements" with labor organizations. These agreements would allow union agents to inform and communicate with cannabis employees about their labor rights, including the right to form a union, in exchange for the labor organization agreeing not to engage in picketing, work stoppages, or boycotts. Cannabis establishments would be required to submit an attestation of such an agreement as part of their initial licensing and renewal applications, and failure to do so or to abide by the agreement could result in the suspension, revocation, or denial of the license.
