Dispensary Workers

Do you work in the Illinois Medical Dispensary or Cultivation Industry and/or the new Illinois Adult Use  Industry? If so, Workers United (an SEIU affiliate) is the union for you.

 

When you and you coworkers join together to form a union with Workers United, you gain the right to bargain as equals with management over your wages, benefits and working conditions. With a union, you truly have a voice on the job, and you don’t have to simply accept whatever your employer offers. Indeed, with Workers United you have a voice and a seat at the table, and your solidarity with your co-workers gives you the power to win significant improvements at your job.

 

The data couldn’t be clearer. On average, unionized workers enjoy 27% percent higher wages than their non-union counterparts, and pay significantly less for medical and retirement benefits.

 

Your employer may not be thrilled that you are joining a union because some bosses (but certainly not all) do not want to share their money or their power. However, your right to join a union is guaranteed by federal law, and the decision to unionize or not is up to you and your coworkers – not your employer.
