We Are the REI Union.
We are unionizing at REI!
​
We know that as workers at REI, we are at the center of what makes our stores great. Our shared passion for the outdoors and spirit of inclusiveness is what keeps our members coming into our stores. Our hard work and expertise have value and deserve respect.
​
We’re unionizing at REI because we have not been provided with the working conditions and benefits we need to do the job we love. REI needs to be held accountable to their stated values. Too many of us are struggling to make ends meet, and we shouldn’t have to worry about things like sudden cuts to our hours.
​
Having a union contract gives you and your coworkers a voice in the policies that affect your daily work lives and the ability to secure the benefits you deserve. That’s why we’re coming together at REI to advocate for guaranteed minimum hours, pay that reflects our value and seniority, improved safety standards, and real job protections - all guaranteed in writing.
​
We voted to unionize at our stores to help build a better REI for everyone! We believe that the REAL way forward is with a union and that no matter where you work, you and your coworkers should have a say in how your store is run. We all deserve better. We all deserve a union.

This evening, REI workers in San Diego won their election to become the 12th unionized location across the company. Workers at the store organized in an effort to win stable scheduling and consistent raises to keep up with the rising cost of living in the area. Our siblings from across the REI Union are excited to officially welcome Team San Diego to our movement.
Following their win, the workers at this location will come together to build a bargaining committee and join the other unionized stores in bargaining their first union contract.
