Union news alert!
The Recreational Equipment, Inc. (better known as "REI") store in Greensboro, NC has authorized #RWDSU to represent them and has filed for a union election! A "yes" vote would make them the 11th publicly unionized REI store to be recognized by the NLRB. REI management continues to negotiate in bad faith, so every store that joins the struggle puts more pressure on them to start living by the co-op principals that they profess to believe in.

The Retail, Wholesale & Department Store #Union (#RWDSU) represents 100,000 members throughout the United States. The RWDSU is affiliated with the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (#UFCW)
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!
