Unionized employees at Minnesota Medical Solutions unanimously ratified a three-year contract with the company, one of the state’s two vertically integrated medical marijuana businesses. MinnMed is a unit of MMJ business Vireo Health, which in September signed what it claimed was the first agreement with organized labor in New York. These cannabis-related labor contracts join a growing number in states that also include California, Colorado and Oregon.
