As we celebrate this Labor Day, our Brothers and Sisters at Rise Dispensary will not be joining in the celebration. They have been forced to strike by the employer for their bad faith tactics at the bargaining table. The company has refused to offer our members a living wage, all while generating record revenues of $1.1 billion in 2024. The company's CEO was awarded over $10 million in salary, bonuses, awards, and other forms of compensation that same year.

Over the past year, Local 776 and Rise members have been in negotiations for a first contract. The company has refused to move from its offer of a last, best, and final contract proposal, which was unanimously rejected by the membership.

As of 8 am on Labor Day morning, these Rise members commenced a strike to demand the company rescind their last, best and final offer and negotiate in good faith on a contract that is deserving of the hard work these Rise members do each and every day.

If you want to help out your Brothers and Sisters at Rise Dispensary, the strike line is located at 2139 White Street, York, PA
