Oaksterdam Unionizes….The Train is Leaving the Station, Humboldt.
A unionized Oaksterdam benefits from a closer relationship with one cornerstone of the Democratic party going into a tough fall fight over Oaksterdam’s related ballot initiative, Tax Cannabis 2010.
Local union UFCW Local 5 announced Thursday that employees at Oaksterdam and five related enterprises have voted to join them, and separate elections are also being verified at cannabis hydroponics retailer iGROW and cultivation company AgraMed. Oakland councilmember and potential mayoral candidate Rebecca Kaplan is scheduled to join medical cannabis workers at a news conference Friday to announce a new coalition centered around local cannabis worker’s rights.
