Inside REI's anti-union campaign. The "co-op" recently fired a popular manager for failing to immediately report union chatter at his store. They put it right in his termination letter. Outraged workers tell me the company has lost its moral center.

Kirsten from @reiunionboston was one of our coworkers affected by the recent layoffs at REI, and her story paints a clear picture of what actually happened in our stores that day.

The journey of REI Union officially started in March of 2022 when @reiunionsoho made history and became the first store to vote UNION YES. This historic victory sparked a movement that has inspired hundreds of us from all across the country to organize and build a better Co-op.

Our National Day of Action wasn’t just about getting customers and Co-op members to sign our petition - it was also about connecting with our communities, enjoying a beautiful Saturday, and showing Co-op members how much we value our REI Union.

Essential #2 for a better Co-op: SHELTER! We can’t survive in the backcountry without shelter from the elements, and as green vests, we need our own ‘shelter’ to get by. What does that look like? Guaranteed minimum hours and a living wage that lets us live a life with dignity.

Our coworkers from @reiunionmg are here to set the record straight - we ALL deserve to feel safe and supported from the moment we walk in the door. Without safe working conditions and policies that prioritize our physical wellbeing, we can’t do our best work.

Sam from @reiunionberk is checking in to remind us how important vacation and paid leave are to our work-life balance at REI. REI prides itself on helping people live a life outdoors, but we can’t opt outside without strong vacation policies written into a union contract. 📝

We know how tough it is to work in retail, especially during the holidays. So, to lift up our amazing coworkers and show them how much we appreciate their dedication, we asked Co-op members across the country to share why they support REI green vests this holiday season!

Last Saturday, @reiunionchicago went ON STRIKE after REI announced their unlawful “restructuring” plan and laid off two of their sales leads. By implementing this plan and laying off our coworkers without negotiating with us, REI has ignored our union voice and broken the law.

Clare from @reiunionberk loves the idea of REI’s #OptOutside day, but it’s hard for her to get outside regularly when conditions in her store are so unpredictable and demanding.

Essential #7 for a better Co-op: NUTRITION! Nutritious meals keep us fueled on the trail, and we need similar ‘sustenance’ to thrive at REI. How do we nourish ourselves as green vests? With vacation time and leave policies that let us live a life outdoors.

Essential #5 for a better Co-op: INSULATION! Winter outings are only viable with insulating gear to keep us warm, and doing our best work at REI is only possible when we KNOW our jobs are secure.
