This week, we’ve got a national call to boycott the REI Co-Op Annual Sale in support of union workers. As bargaining has dragged on and REI has dragged its feet at the table, workers are looking to leverage an upcoming moneymaker of a sale at the Co-Op to force them back to bargaining with serious proposals. To that end, REI workers have asked that folks join a boycott from May 15th to 25th during the co-op’s largest sale of the year. With me to discuss this and more is Ashley, a union organizer and bargaining team member from the REI Co-Op in Greensboro, North Carolina.
