unionization

Post-harvest employees at a St. Louis cannabis facility say they are organizing for better pay, job security and working conditions as union efforts gain momentum in Missouri’s marijuana industry

A Missouri bill that would outlaw hemp-derived products from convenience stores, bars and restaurants has a new section to protect cannabis workers’ right to organize.

A second Columbia location of the Seattle-based coffee chain voted Thursday to unionize. Employees say they have some changes in mind.

The Starbucks at Nifong Boulevard and Buttonwood Drive in Columbia has become the first branch in the city where workers have unionized.

BeLeaf Medical is arguing the post-harvest employees at its Sinse facility in St. Louis don’t have the right to unionize because they’re considered agricultural workers.

Voluntary recognition by the city means those workers will be included in future collective bargaining.
