MJ Biz reports that US labor agency: Ruling says cannabis trimmers, grow-room employees can’t unionize because they qualify as agricultural laborers. The decision, 04_CA_260089_10_21_20_.pdf, was released last week by the National Labor Relations Board and counters previous decisions by the labor board that marijuana growers are employees and not agricultural workers. The distinction is important because agricultural laborers under federal law do not have the right to organize unions, although “employees” do and could impact the marijuana industry drastically.
