Organized labor is assisting efforts to frame a California ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana use in the state, sensing an opportunity to expand its presence in the workplace.
The Sacramento Bee reports that the United Food and Commercial Workers' Western States Council commissioned a series of focus groups, where 48 men and women across the state filed into rooms with one-way mirrors to share their opinions. The research is aimed at shaping a legalization initiative for the 2016 ballot.
The labor council has a foothold in California's marijuana industry for medical purposes, representing about 1,000 workers. Jim Araby, its executive director, said it wants to be involved early in the ballot effort for recreational use and make sure that a proposal contains strong labor protections.
