Members of REI Union Chicago walked off the job in the middle of REI's Anniversary Sale to protest after the company reportedly failed to negotiate a contract in good faith.

Members of REI Union Chicago walked off the job in the middle of REI's Anniversary Sale to protest after the company reportedly failed to negotiate a contract in good faith. The protest was held Saturday morning and those in attendance included union members, elected officials and other leaders/workers from the Chicago area. The store's sale runs from May 17-27 and is a significant revenue period for the company.

According to the RWDSU, workers demanded that REI reach a fair contract by the end of this year, since contract negotiations have remained stalled since September 2023. Today’s strike is the first action during the Anniversary Sale, with more expected from all 10 unionized stores.
