After the largest Co-op member uprising in REI’s history, REI’s new CEO, Mary Beth Laughton, “promised to return the Co-op to its roots.”
She lied.
That’s why REI Union workers and Co-op members are voting to boycott REI during their 2026 Anniversary Sale. Union workers voted overwhelmingly to approve this boycott.



The blurb in the post is doing the union dirty because it cuts off one sentence too soon.
I was thinking the context of the boycott in the title implied an issue with her promise. I added more from the announcement to the post.
