REI union busting has begun!
REI Union busting has begun! https://our.rei.com/ This website was created specifically in response to the upcoming NLRB election in Soho. It spreads much disinformation, all under the guise of “cooperative” management. The fact of the matter is that while REI can pretend to hide under the cover of Co-Op Culture, it is a customer Co-Op, not an employee co-op, and runs just like any other top down, for profit retailer. Don't fall for it! If you or someone you know works at REI and isn't buying this nonsense from management, please reach out to the https://workerorganizing.org/ and https://www.rwdsu.info/ for more resources on forming a workplace organizing committee at REI today. REI workers from all over the country are beginning to stand up, and it's clear how their employer feels about it.
