The Kroger Co. announced today it is closing three Los Angeles stores following the City Council's vote on March 3 to approve an ordinance that requires large grocery and pharmacy retailers to offer employees an additional $5 per hour in hazard pay amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite being the first state to legalize recreational marijuana, Colorado still doesn t have a certified marijuana workers union. That could change, though, if a National Labor Relations Board hearing goes favorably for a group of workers at a Denver cultivation warehouse.
After a hearing scheduled for March 11, the National Labor Relations Board will decide whether workers at a Denver marijuana grow owned by TweedLeaf will be recognized for a union certification vote with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco, and Grain Millers Union Local 26 chapter. If the NLRB approves the move and 75 percent of the growing operation s employees vote in favor of certification, the TweedLeaf employees would become the first marijuana workers union in Colorado, after several failed attempts across the state.
