The UFCW (United Food and Commercial Workers) partners with cannabis workers, patients, consumers, community allies, elected officials, and business owners to create an industry with family-sustaining jobs and a focus on social equity. Through these partnerships and worker organizing, we have set high standards throughout the industry in our union contracts.

We have been a key leader in coalitions and advocacy groups that work for real change at all policy levels. We have been instrumental in advocating for the good jobs provided by the medical and adult-use cannabis industry. By crafting and supporting targeted legislative efforts, along with negotiating the best contracts for workers, we’ve been able to set high standards throughout the industry.

UFCW 8-Golden State represents hundreds of workers in the cannabis industry, throughout Central and Northern California. We also represent thousands of other workers in retail food and drug, food processing, and medical facilities, along with many other industries. As a member of UFCW 8, you are a vital part of a great organization whose only purpose is to look out for the best interests of you and those you care about.

Your Union ensures you are treated fairly, your health care is there when you need it and helps during personal or family crises. You’re part of a family that looks out for you and yours daily.
