Bargaining Team: Emmy Bonagofski
Bargaining & Next Dates!
Dockside first contract bargaining has begun! After preparing proposals based on our survey answers in early April, our bargaining team met with representatives from management for our 1st session last week. We presented a whole draft contract and discussed it with the employer line by line, explaining what we were proposing and why. We made proposals on wages, PTO, hours and scheduling, holidays, union representation, just cause & job protection, health & safety, benefits, and more. We’re looking forward to receiving Dockside’s initial counteroffer at our next negotiations session on June 2nd.
Dockside Union Member Meeting May 20!
We’re holding a meeting for all of us on Tuesday May 20 from 12pm to 1pm on Zoom! We’ll be talking about what the bargaining process is like and what to expect in the next few months and also sharing what we’ve proposed so far. This is a great opportunity to get more involved in winning our first contract.

Huge Victory for Cannabis Workers!
Our union and cannabis workers around the state have been fighting for years for cannabis grow workers, who had been unjustly left behind by traditional labor protections, to have the same organizing and collectively bargaining rights as other cannabis workers. Thanks to your hard work, our bill ESHB 1141 has passed the House and the Senate! The bill allowing cannabis agricultural workers to organize their workplaces is expected to be signed by the Governor on April 23, 2025. This is a huge victory for cannabis workers, and we look forward to continuing to raise the bar for everyone in our industry.
