Rebecca Rivas at People’s World reports on Missouri Cannabis Workers who say they are stuck in a gray area, unable to Unionize because they may be considered Agricultural Workers.  A big reason why Employees are moving towards Unions, said Sean Shannon - the Lead Organizer for United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 655, is because Missouri is at the point where the “canna-bliss” of working with marijuana professionally is starting to wear off.  Now the reality that Workers aren’t getting paid enough, are sometimes working in poor conditions, and have no job stability is starting to set in, said Danny Foster, a former Cannabis Worker.  “We really weren’t given the industry that we were promised,” Foster said. “We all came in super excited.  We love cannabis.  We wanted to be able to make it a career.  But as it is right now, cannabis isn’t a career.”
