These labor-related issues make it hard for a company to scale, and spur many manufacturers to
seek out automation, Chrzan said.
In the words of one cannabis manufacturer, according to Chrzan: " That machine shows up every day
ready to go. We don't have to call home and find out why they didn't come or any of the problems
you have with employees. "
Heavy dependence on manual labor isn't just a problem for management, Dishion said. It can also
be demoralizing for employees.
" The mind-numbing, soul-crushing eight hours of sitting there with a little scale, " Dishion said. " Not
only is that heinous for the morale of your employees, it is going to be a limiting factor in our ability
to grow. "
While adding automation may end up eliminating jobs, the jobs that are left should be better,
said Lise Bernard, sales director for Green Vault Systems, a Washington state cannabis-specific
packaging equipment designer and manufacturer.
" The good people will stay and now they're going to learn a new skill. They're going to learn how to
operate these beautiful machines, " Bernard said.
Thomas Geiger, special project director with United Food and Commercial Workers International
Union Local 21, a Washington state union organization with a growing voice in cannabis labor,
agrees that automation " is not necessarily an enemy of the worker. "
