Three of March & Ash stores voted to unionize, which still leaves out the location in Mission Valley.
Under a state law signed in 2019, every licensed cannabis retailer is required to enter into such an agreement with a qualified union.
Grant Tom, secretary-treasurer of UFCW Local 135, said the March & Ash contract could be used as a “blueprint” for the rest of the industry.
But on May 4, SDG&E sent a request to its regulator, the California Public Utilities Commission, asking for approval to basically stop charging part of the fee.
San Diegans pay the highest fees of any SDG&E customer city.
