Workers at California cannabis-delivery service threaten ‘unprecedented’ strike
After Eaze workers unionized with United Food and Commercial Workers, company cut pay and wouldn’t address it in negotiations
Delivery drivers and other workers at the US’s largest cannabis-delivery company are threatening to strike in what would likely be the biggest work stoppage to hit the cannabis industry.
Nearly 600 workers at 11 depot locations owned by Eaze, a cannabis-delivery company in southern and northern California, are threatening to strike over pay and conditions.
Eaze, founded in 2014 in San Francisco with millions of dollars in venture-backed funding, including from Snoop Dogg, has been characterized as the “Uber of weed”. The privately held company was valued at more than $700m in 2021.
