The system isn’t designed for us. That’s why calls are rising for a general strike.
And they’re making that money while their workers can’t put food on the table.

If you’re not paying workers, you’re not fueling your economy. Simple as that.
We've come to expect union busting from Amazon. But from a “co-op” like REI? That’s a betrayal of their workers and members.

Now is the time to fight! No more "keeping the powder dry."
REI built its brand on community and sustainability. But now, it’s cutting pay, slashing benefits, and fighting its own workers. That’s the playbook of a megacorporation – not a co-op.
Workers at 11 REI stores across the US have voted to unionize, but the company has refused to reach an agreement on wages, staffing and other workplace issues. Instead of investing in their workers, REI are cutting benefits and lowering pay. That’s why this boycott matters.
Here’s what your favorite outdoor Co-op doesn’t want you to know 👇 REI presents itself as value-driven and sustainable — but their supply chain tells a different story.
Had a great time on the April 3rd episode of The Rick Smith show. Thanks for having me on, Rick!

It’s getting harder and harder for many of us to afford groceries, housing, or a tank of gas – meanwhile, the billionaire class and CEOs are seeing record high salaries. If you’re not practicing striking with your union, now is the time to start.
No matter where I go, whether it’s grocery workers, farm workers, or factory workers, we are all facing the problem of consolidated power and wealth. That’s where unions have something to offer.
Corporations are laying the groundwork for surveillance pricing in grocery stores. The sooner we can outlaw this invasive, anti-consumer practice, the better.
