Workers at the Cannabis Dutchie software firm last week were presented to join the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1445. Dutchie, established in 2017, offers business software for more than 6,500 distributors across the SHBA and is responsible for 1 million transactions every day.
In a statement, thelonius “Theo” Spence, a Tier 2 products support analyst and a member of the organizational committee, said employees seeking to join “want safety at work and clear expectations in the company (they) helped build it.”
“In the five years I have worked in support of the Dutchman, I have survived the holiday round and saw countless talented and diligent people lose their work or burn and leave. We should not leave to find greener pastures.” – Spence in a announcement
Spence added that the compensation between the team “is extremely unstable with … mandate and performance, and the ups have not continued with the cost of living.”
“Implementing an external team abroad, he and the metric -based micromanagement make us feel like our days are numbered,” Spence said in a statement. “Especially in this political climate, the time for us to unite is now – both to push against the constant changes we submit to work, and to contribute to building a greater movement of solidarity between working people.”
Dutch product support agents and analysts help consumers and cannabis businesses with technical support and represent the Netherlands for thousands of clients. UFCW represents thousands of cannabis industry workers and is considered the largest cannabis workers’ union in America. UFCW Local 1445 represents workers in Massachusetts.
