I joined the United Food and Commercial Workers (UCFW) union to discuss the importance of worker protections and workforce development in the state’s newly emerging cannabis industry. It was an honor to stand with colleagues for Union jobs, with the great State Senators Julie Kushner and Jorge Cabrera, and the amazing State Representatives Robyn Porter and Travis Simms, and Mr. Luis Vega (educator/advocate).
