To all REI members, please use your opportunity to vote for REI's board of directors.
The union for REI workers is asking that we vote "Withhold" against all of the corporate-picked nominees.

REI Members need to Vote 'withold' on the ballot [1]
"Unionized REI employees are calling on members to vote NO in this year’s board of director elections after the company excluded two union-backed candidates from the ballot.
Bylaw changes in the early 2000s gave the existing board final say over who gets on the ballot.
Anyone who has an active REI membership can vote in its board elections.
It takes five minutes [to vote] online."

This is how the #REI subreddit handled my initial post about the True Co-op campaign.

There's now a movement to Vote WITHHOLD on the REI Board Ballot due to the current board's reckless stances inconsistent with REI's core values.

I'm starting to wonder how many companies I'm going to have to boycott this year. I just sent a nasty letter to the REI board.

REI has a survey going on. It seems to have a particular concern with gauging how their recent union policies might be affecting them, so I encourage you all to fill the survey out and...
GIVE THEM HELL
[edit: apparently my survey link won't work for you. If you are a member and get the email, please fill it out. They are taking a limited number of responses and I want them all to be angry about labour policies.]
Hey #labor supporters, take a moment to support this candidacy for #REI board. She is #prounion and wants to push REI to accept the #union

REI UnionShemona Moreno for REI Board of DirectorsHelp us stop REI's union busting by putting a real voice for their workers on our board of directors!
Dumb retailer tricks. They have some hiking boots on sale online. But not on the stores, where they are twice as expensive. So fine, tried them on in store and walked outside and ordered the sale ones. Didn't want to order them without making sure the sizing was right. (Their explanation: those are last year's inventory of the same shoe online 
) #rei
Most annoying sale flyers, ever, come from REI.
No prices, only "x percent off!!"

@ascentale @AngelaAntunovic #REI (Co-op Cycles) is pretty gross. They treat their employees like shit and are hard-core union busting, not not to mention that they haven't been a co-op (even in the consumer sense, which is barely a real co-op to begin with) in a long time. The name is pretty much purely co-op washing now.
On the other end of the spectrum, I found out recently that Orbea is a worker co-op! While that doesn't automatically make them great, it definitely feels good.
Thinking about that time that #REI did a safety training that said (paraphrasing): "1 in 8 workers in most work places have an accident, but at REI it's 1 in 4, but really we're safer, you lot are just whiny babies who complain about minor injuries more than the employees of other companies".
(I don't remember the exact numbers, but I think it was a 100% increase at injuries at REI over the average workplace and they insisted that the problem was us reporting too much stuff).

Hi all! If you're in New York City, the #REI union is planning a rally on Thursday May 23rd, go out and show them some support! They'd love to have a contingent of real cooperatives if possible, so get your co-ops together and show them some love!
They're also running this petition this week since it's REI's big yearly sale: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell-the-rei-board-stop-union-busting-bargain-a-fair-contract
This is not the only article I've come across recently that reports REI's union-busting practices. They will be on my boycott list pretty soon unless their union asks people not to (yet).
