The Modern Cannabis Group’s Budtenders Join Teamsters Union

Since Illinois legalized recreational marijuana use and retail last year, it has become one of the state’s fastest-growing industries. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation reported that cannabis-related sales were over $100 million in 2020.

Jason Blumstein and Sydney Charles are Budtenders at the River North location.

“We are proud to be joining Local 777, a union with a deep history of defending and advocating for workers’ rights,” Blumstein and Charles said. “We are excited about the future and quality of life we can create for all cannabis workers.”
