The REI Union workers and co-op members have voted to boycott REI’s Anniversary Sale on Friday 5/15 to Monday 5/25. REI Union workers are asking their friends in the labor and co-op movements to help them leaflet during the sale and are holding a rally on Saturday May 16th 12pm-2pm.

Let’s show up for our friends at the REI Union and make it clear union busting has no place in the co-op movement!

REI continues to betray cooperative values and the labor movement! After REI union workers successfully got REI co-op members to reject REI’s corporate board elections last spring, REI’s new CEO seemed committed to reform. The REI conceded to a framework to reach an agreement over the fall and winter of 2025. Despite some progress made at the bargaining table, REI fell back on their anti-union tactics. REI ultimately refused to pay union workers at the same level as non-union workers. This was a slap in the face to REI union workers after four years at the bargaining table. In addition, REI continues to waste money on anti-union law firms, roll back co-op democracy, and flagrantly violate labor law.

Shame!
