Thirty workers at the at Cresco Labs' CRLBF Sunnyside Dispensary in Rockford, Ill., have unanimously voted to join Teamsters Local 777. It is the second dispensary in Illinois to join the Teamsters in less than two weeks."Workers in this field are organizing with us because they want contracts that address the issues that matter to them," stated Jim Glimco, Local 777 president. "These include better wages and benefits, seniority, a voice on the job, respect, and so much more. We're going to fight to get these workers a contract that addresses their concerns, and then we're going to take that fight to every remaining non-union dispensary throughout Illinois.
