Legalizing pot has opened the floodgates to a new multibillion dollar industry in multiple states. But where there are high profits, there's often high exploitation. The experience of unionized cannabis delivery drivers and warehouse workers who belong to Grassdoor Workers provides an instructive example of exploitative practices found across industries, and how workers can organize to fight back.
