FYI- According to Green Market Report, Las Vegas marijuana shop employees voted in favor of unionizing under the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW). This particular Ayr Wellness Inc (OTCQX:AYRWF) shop, operating under the name The Dispensary, becomes the second of its kind under the Ayr brand to join the UFCW.

Ayr employee Alberto Villalobos said, "We look forward to negotiating a strong union contract that fairly rewards our labor and respects the contributions we make every day toward making the shop successful."

Both the UFCW and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters have been actively engaging with cannabis industry workers across the U.S. Their approach in negotiations with big multistate operators has been notably assertive.
