This means that Cannabis retailers, processors, and labs must have a signed Labor Peace Agreement (LPA) with a bona fide labor organization to renew or obtain a new license.
Renewals and applications submitted before December 5 are exempt, but anything submitted after will require an LPA.
It’s important to note that Ballot Measure 119 isn’t the only labor regulation employers must understand.
The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) already governs employer-employee interactions on union matters, regardless of whether a business has an LPA. With labor unions actively engaging industry employees and businesses, it’s crucial for employers and managers to be educated on what they can and cannot do under the NLRA.
To help you navigate these changes, we’ve created a comprehensive guide on Ballot Measure 119 and the NLRA. Download the Guide Here and consider it an essential resource for understanding your obligations . We’ll also dive into these details at our Cannabis Insiders Meeting on Monday—don’t miss it!
