"We successfully negotiated and ratified this collective bargaining agreement in less than three months, which is probably the fastest turnaround we've had for a first contract in this industry," stated Jim Glimco, president of Local 777. "We're organizing and winning contracts faster than ever before because everyone in this field recognizes we're a force to be reckoned with. Congratulations to all of the workers who stuck together to demand a contract with the same high standards we've secured for other multi-state cannabis operators in Illinois."
