Teamsters Local 469 members at Garden Society in New Jersey have ratified their first contract after voting to join the Teamsters less than six months ago. The collective bargaining agreement includes a wage increase of more than 30 percent over the course of three years, increased paid time off and overtime, employer-funded retirement contributions, and protections against unjust discipline and subcontracting.



“What you’re seeing in New Jersey is indicative of what you’re going to see all over the country,” said Jesse Case, Teamsters Food Processing Division Director. “We’re winning the best contracts in cannabis because we’re the best union in cannabis.”
