The Teamsters Union has successfully unionized more than 25 cannabis shops in Illinois with many winning transformative union contracts that ensure stability and prosperity for workers in the industry.



Cannabis workers at Dispensary 33 in Chicago are the latest Teamsters to ratify their first union contract with Teamsters Local 777.



Local 777 secured this agreement less than a year after workers overwhelmingly voting to become Teamsters.



“This was honestly one of the hardest and most fulfilling experiences I’ve ever gone through,” said Lyzette Soto, Local 777 member and award-winning budtender. “We are passionate and proud of the community we’ve created to guarantee better conditions in our workplace.”
