\n

Workers at Stoney Brothers, a marijuana dispensary in Portland, Ore., have approved the first-ever union contract for cannabis workers in Oregon and have joined UFCW Local 555. The vote to approve the contract was unanimous and sets a new standard for cannabis workers in Oregon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cWith our new contract, I am excited to have paid holidays and vacation time,\u201d said Kyle Maestra, a site manager at Stoney Brothers. \u201cThat is unusual in the cannabis industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The three-year contract includes salaries starting at $15\/hour with some making as high as $34\/hour, regular raises, affordable health insurance through a multi-employer fund, pension contributions, paid vacations and sick leave, as well as seniority and grievance protections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cAll workers deserve the benefits of a union contract,\u201d said Dan Clay, President of UFCW Local 555, \u201cand workers in the cannabis industry are no different. Starting with the workers at Stoney Brothers, we can build a home-grown Oregon cannabis industry that respects workers and provides good, family-supporting jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Workers at Stoney Brothers have expressed excitement about their industry-leading compensation package.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cHealth insurance is important to me,\u201d said Hannah Poole, a patient consultant at Stoney Brothers. \u201cMy union health insurance plan is comprehensive and gives me real peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Stoney Brothers and UFCW Local 555 look forward to growing together as the company plans to open several new retail and growing facilities in the near future.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
