David Spradlin, CEO of Perfect Union
–Employees in California’s cannabis industry have been working on-site and in-person during the pandemic because they were deemed “essential” by the state in March 2020. And based on the state’s latest guidance, they should be included in Phase 1B or 1C of the COVID-19 vaccine distribution, but it is still not clear when or how it will be available.
This is unwise and unacceptable.
As the pandemic took hold, Governor Newsom issued an executive order requiring most Californians to work from home. Those deemed “essential” could continue going to work, which included health care, law enforcement, grocery stores and pharmacies, as well as supply chains that keep essential products on the shelf. Cannabis employees were also declared essential in March 2020, which included those in cultivation, manufacturing, distribution and retail.
