Cannabis Engineers, Extractors, and Distributors
Who is CEED?
The Cannabis Engineers Extractors & Distributors (CEED) Local 420, IUJAT is a local union established solely to represent cannabis workers. We are affiliated with the International Union of Journeymen and Allied Trades (IUJAT), the oldest union in the United States, and their 100,000 members provide CEED with staff and political support.
Workers need the support of a strong organization that can help them secure quality contracts and benefits. Emergence of sales within the state’s nascent cannabis industry in recent years underlines this urgency. CEED is committed to advocating for workers while supporting employer growth through political action and education.
Founded by the International Union of Journeymen and Allied Trades (IUJAT), CEED is exclusively dedicated to advocating for cannabis workers’ rights. Our organization provides industry-leading contracts and empowers workers through diligent representation with job security, fair wages, and access to health and retirement benefits.
CEED empowers cannabis workers by providing them a real voice. Collaborating with organizations through education and political action, we aim to advance the labor movement, uplift the lives of cannabis workers, end inequity, and grow the industry as a vehicle for progress through collective bargaining.

A Career in Cannabis
Cannabis workers are a part of a new and important industry, expected to become an industry worth about $45.4 billion by 2025. The field is also seeing a 20% increase in employment every year and these gains are projected to continue.
This growth and steady increase in workers is exactly why CEED is important; we want to ensure that this growth can continue and we also want to make sure that the workers who are bilding this industry from the ground up are represented properly and get the chance to grow along with the industry.
All workers should have a say in their careers and working conditions, especially in an industry still in the process of forming. New laws are always getting passed that make changes to the legality of cannabis as well as the rules that businesses in the industry are required to follow. So having CEE supporting the workers helps in making sure that with all the change they can still have stability where it counts, in their job.
