Kratom workers across eastern Missouri vote to unionize
CBD Kratom employees have become the first Missouri workers in the industry to unionize, following a Friday election.
The election spanned across 17 stores in eastern Missouri and Illinois operated by the St. Louis-based CBD Kratom, which sells largely kratom and hemp-derived THC products. Employees voted 23 to 6 to unionize, with 75% of the eligible employees participating.
“I’m so excited and so proud of everyone,” said Taylor Moore, sales associate. “I’m encouraged to know that our voices as workers are and will be heard.”
Sales associate Nina Sykes said, “This opens the doors for CBD Kratom employees to be more successful in their role.”
