His chief negotiator said management’s refusal to negotiate would continue until a shutdown decision is made.” Meanwhile, on Monday, the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) filed an unfair labor practice claim against the Wellness Connection of Maine, which operates four of the state’s eight licensed medical marijuana facilities (in Portland, Brewer, Hallowell, and Thomaston). The charges, reported to the National Labor Relations Board, allege more than 10 violations of worker’s rights, including use of anti-union tactics and the existence of unsafe working conditions. This development comes after an investigation by the state Department of Health and Hu- man Services that found more than 20 code violations including the illegal use of pesticides on cannabis plants. “We’re not refusing our employees anything,” says Patri- cia Rosi, chief operating officer for the Wellness Connection. If a majority of employees wants to unionize, the company will accommodate that desire. “What really matters most is: What’s best for our employees is what’s best for our pa- tients.” Having not yet seen the UFCW’s claim, Rosi could not comments on the specific charges of unfair labor practices. The UFCW, which has its own Medical Cannabis and Hemp Division, represents thousands of medical marijuana workers in six states and the District of Columbia, according to a press release distributed by the Maine AFL-CIO. “UFCW and our members are dedicated to a dignified, controlled, taxed, regulated, compliant, unionized medical cannabis industry,” the union has said. The UFCW also this week announced its support for LD1161, An Act to Ensure Regulated Safe Access to Marijuana, which had its public hearing before the Health and Human Services Committee this week and would increase the number of medi-mari dispensaries in Maine. _Deirdre Fulton 6 May 17, 2013 | the portland phoenix | portland.t hephoenix.coM

Change-makers in our midst Maine WoMen’s Fund aWardees are building a neW World

_by deirdre Fulton

On the surface, they have little f incommon: An unassuming entrepreneur in her late 50s, an accomplished 38-year-old photojournalist, and a trio of energetic teenagers. But these women do exhibit several shared traits. They are plucky and passionate, clever and unpretentious. They are Mainers. And all five will be honored next Thursday, May 23, at the Maine Women’s Fund’s annual Leadership Luncheon, which honors those who are making life better for women and girls in this state and beyond. “Part of the work of philanthropy is to inspire people,” says Sarah Ruef- Lindquist, MWF’s chief executive officer. “When we have in our midst people who have accomplished things like [these women] and they’re from right here in our backyard, that’s inspiring. A lot of people don’t recognize that they’re con- nected here or the impact of their work beyond Maine.” Vintage Vamp Published in 1963, Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique outlined a problem without a name, one that “lay buried, unspoken, for many years in the minds of American women. It was a strange stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning [that is, a longing] that women suffered in the middle of the 20th century in the United States.
