The Apothecarium Dispensary of Salisbury employees have officially joined the union

SALISBURY, Md – After a vote, the Apothecarium Dispensary workers have officially joined the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 27 union.

With 90% of workers voting to join the union, this move will change the lives of many employees. Many workers in the marijuana industry are overworked, and dispensaries struggle with staffing.

The Director of Organizing for UFCW Local 27 Jeff Hedrick believes this new move will help balance the scales between the company and workers.

“They are asking to be treated with dignity and respect, to be able to wake up in the morning and not wonder how they will feed their kids or how they will do a car repair, that’s what unionizing is about.”
