Troubled U.S. cannabis delivery company Eaze is reportedly facing more pushback from employees.
This time it’s shift supervisors, who told the Guardian they’ve been struggling with low wages and have been told by Eaze they can’t unionize since they’re management.
“I am not making enough money to survive,” said an Eaze who asked to remain anonymous. “I’m on food stamps, but those benefits have started to decrease. I can’t afford to repair my car if it needs it. I can’t afford to eat out. And I’m not the only person that’s going through these kinds of financial problems.”
The latest employee turmoil for Eaze comes after the company earlier this year narrowly avoided a strike after UFCW cannabis delivery drivers and depot staff at 11 Eaze cannabis locations across California have reached a tentative agreement.
Eaze earlier this year also faced foreclosure after a new lawsuit from one of its investors. Tech investor Jim Clark filed the suit after the company allegedly defaulted on a loan, according to a court filing spotted by WeedWeek.
While problems mount, CEO Cory Azzalino remains confident. In May, told SFGate that his company’s operations would continue as normal.
He also said his company is still in a “healthy financial position.”
