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.

    REI continues to confuse me, they had such a good thing going and they seem intent on ruining it. I really don’t understand it. What could possibly be the benefit of running a co-op this way? Do they think they’re going be able to un co-op it and people are still going to shop there?
