On Jan. 30, members of UFCW Local 1059 who work at the Terrasana medical cannabis dispensary in Columbus, Ohio, ratified their first union contract. The workers, who assist customers and patients in procuring the right product and dosage for their needs, joined our union last year.
The three-year contract, which was ratified unanimously by the members, includes guaranteed annual wage increases, a signing bonus, improvements to the attendance policy, and an increase to paid time off.
“The workers at Terrasana spoke loud and clear: They see the benefits and protections of a union contract,” said UFCW Local 1059 President Randy Quickel. “I welcome them to our union family.”
In addition to the Terrasana dispensary, UFCW Local 1059 also represents workers at the Mavuno of Athens dispensary (formerly Harvest of Athens) in Athens.
