Cannabis Company Overhauls Practices After Immigration Raid | JQJO

A July 10th immigration raid at Glass House Farms, a major California cannabis company, resulted in one death, over 360 detentions (including minors), and widespread disruption. Following the raid, Glass House terminated its contractors, implemented stricter labor practices, including document verification and consulting with a former ICE director, and signed a labor peace agreement with the Teamsters. While Glass House claims to have ensured payment to all workers, critics argue the company uses contractors to evade responsibility for worker exploitation. The raid raised concerns about the federal government's stance on cannabis and its impact on immigrant workers.
