Teamsters at the Sunnyside dispensary in Wyomissing, Pa., are hitting the picket line today after the company failed to present a contract that fairly compensates its workers. Sunnyside is a subsidiary of Cresco Labs, a publicly traded multi-state operator in the cannabis industry.



Cannabis Teamsters at Sunnyside are fighting for fair wages and improved hours of work. The strike highlights the growing strength of Teamsters in the cannabis industry and comes after another work stoppage in November, when Pennsylvania Teamsters won the longest-running successful cannabis strike in U.S. history.



“We’re looking to set the standard of quality for work in the cannabis industry by securing livable wages and promoting long-term careers,” said Cobi Motley, a wellness advisor at Sunnyside and Local 429 member. “We can’t accept a contract that creates economic instability in our future. It’s time for the company to come back to the table and offer a fair deal.”
