Eaze delivery drivers in Sacramento voted unanimously to join the Teamsters Local 150, marking an important milestone for workers in the cannabis delivery sector by aligning them with a broader movement towards improved labor rights and benefits.
Amid the evolving landscape of cannabis labor rights and industry dynamics, stay on top of where this movement is heading at the upcoming Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference in Florida, April 16-17, 2024.
“Congratulations to the men and women at Eaze for standing united and securing their rights,” said Dale Wentz of Local 150, highlighting the drivers’ aspirations for improved safety, benefits and a stronger say in their workplace.
“Eaze cannabis workers are joining hundreds of thousands of delivery drivers represented by the Teamsters across a wide variety of industries,” said Peter Finn, Teamsters Western Region vice president. “Our union knows the logistics industry better than anyone, and that’s why our members are in the best position to secure the best contract possible.”
Eaze is the third cannabis delivery company to organize with the Teamsters, following the steps of Nabis and Amuse workers in California.
Eaze drivers express optimism and a sense of empowerment through unionization. “We’re paving the way for fair treatment and decent wages in the cannabis industry,” said Eaze driver Justin Arnerine. Echoing this sentiment, Everett Jenkins, another Eaze driver and now a Teamster, highlighted the importance of having a tangible impact on job conditions and workers’ roles within their organizations.
With 11,000 members across various sectors, Teamsters Local 150’s expansion into the cannabis delivery space underscores the growing movement towards organized labor in the cannabis industry. This movement mirrors broader unionization efforts in regions such as the Chicago area, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, Illinois, California, and Ohio, among other states.
