Bill Summary
For legislation to facilitate labor peace among the cannabis workforce. Cannabis Policy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to facilitate labor peace among the cannabis workforce. It defines a "labor peace agreement" as an agreement between a cannabis establishment and a labor organization that allows union agents to communicate with employees about their labor rights, including the right to form a union, in exchange for the labor organization refraining from picketing, work stoppages, or boycotts. The bill requires cannabis establishment applicants to submit an attestation that they will not interfere with union agents' ability to communicate with employees, or to submit an attestation that they have entered into a labor peace agreement. Violations of a labor peace agreement or failure to submit the required attestation may result in suspension, revocation, or denial of the cannabis establishment's license.
