Union in-fighting in the pot sores
in California. nice !
Another headache for union-dominated cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco is infighting about which union(s) will organize “weed workers” after the United Farm Workers union, founded in 1962 by Cesar Chavez, claimed that marijuana is a Mexican-American agricultural product that would benefit from branding with its iconic WFC logo.
The United Food and Commercial Workers’ union, which had expected to organize retail sales because they represent grocery clerks, and the Teamsters’ union, because they represent transportation drivers, both declared that they, too, now intended to battle to organize all 100,000 workers in the industry.
It looks like the real winners from Prop 64 will be black market dealers. The marijuana user-friendly Hightimes blog reported that an eighth of an ounce of weed at a California medical marijuana dispensary currently costs about $50, whereas an illegal street dealer only charges $20. Hightimes believes that two new layers of taxes and unionization will make black market dealers even more competitive
