After Eaze workers unionized with United Food and Commercial Workers, company cut pay and wouldn’t address it in negotiations

Delivery drivers and other workers at the US’s largest cannabis-delivery company are threatening to strike in what would likely be the biggest work stoppage to hit the cannabis industry.

Nearly 600 workers at 11 depot locations owned by Eaze, a cannabis-delivery company in southern and northern California, are threatening to strike over pay and conditions.

Eaze, founded in 2014 in San Francisco with millions of dollars in venture-backed funding, including from Snoop Dogg, has been characterized as the “Uber of weed”. The privately held company was valued at more than $700m in 2021.
