The worker had recently changed position within the company from desk work to manufacturing. This follows Teamsters Local 777 filing additional unfair labor practice charges against Green Thumb Industries. Last year, a similar incident occurred at a Trulieve (OTCQX:TCNNF) facility where a worker died due to respiratory issues allegedly linked to cannabis dust in the air.
