Unionization of the Cannabis Industry

3/19/19

Leslie is joined by Kristin Heidelbach-Teramoto, a 15 year veteran of the Teamsters and currently heads the Teamsters’ State of California Cannabis Division. Kristin is also an International Rep of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and works closely with cannabis industry professionals, across the country, to meet compliance and ordinance requirements mandated by local, county, and state regulations. Her role in the industry has been praised by political, labor, and industry leaders as she educates and empowers individuals that support fair wages and benefits in the industry. Kristin also recently made Green Market Report's list of "100+ Of The Most Important Women In Weed 2019."

Leslie and Kristin discuss the benefits of unionization in the cannabis industry and the important role of women in this rapidly expanding field.
