Workers at the Sunnyside cannabis dispensary in South Beloit are now part of the Teamsters Local 777.

President Jim Glimco says there worker’s hard work, dauntlessness, and passion will get them a strong contract when they go to the bargaining table.

Glimco says at one point during the organizing drive, they were able to get three people their jobs back Sunnyside after they were initially terminated.

Glimco says 93 percent of the workers at Sunnyside in South Beloit voted to join the union.

Founded in 1937, Teamsters Local 777 represents workers in a wide variety of industries throughout the Chicago area.
