Concerns conditions of employment of certain cannabis workers.

This bill establishes a new Division of Private Employment Dispute Settlement to handle labor issues for cannabis employers in New Jersey, specifically addressing union representation and unfair practices. It requires cannabis employers to recognize employee representatives through card checks (with language accessibility) or NLRB-compliant elections, and prohibits retaliation against workers for union activities. Employers who fail to provide required employee contact information face daily fines up to $5,000. The bill applies exclusively to cannabis businesses and excludes religious schools and 501(c)(3) nonprofits from its provisions. (Note: This bill was withdrawn as it was superseded by prior legislation, P.L.2025, c.244.)
