Grier
"I'm always down to listen to what could be a good deal for me and my family " said  Thomas Grier   44  standing behind the counter at Canna Can Help Inc.  a dispensary in the Central Valley community of Goshen.
Called a "bud tender  " Grier  recently waited on a steady flow of regular customers walking through the door to pick out their favorite strain.
 He  said so far  no unions have contacted  him .  Grier  gets along with  his  boss and said  he  doesn't want to pay union dues for help ironing out workplace disputes. But  he  hasn't discounted the possibility of joining.
After recently entering the marijuana industry  Los Angeles resident Richard Rodriguez said one sticky traffic stop three months ago converted  him  into a "hard core" Teamster.  He 'd never been in a union until this year.
Rodriguez said an officer pulled  him  over delivering a legal shipment of pot and detained  him  for 12 hours as  he  was accused of following too closely behind a semi-truck.
