Election Results at REI Boston Store
May 15, 2023
On Monday, May 15, employees at our Boston, Massachusetts store participated in an in-person election to determine whether they would be represented by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. The initial vote tally in the Boston election is 44 votes for union representation and 23 votes against.
REI believes in the right of every eligible employee to vote for or against union representation. We fully supported our Boston employees through the vote process and we will continue to support our employees going forward as they begin to navigate the collective bargaining process.
Together we will continue to focus on serving the Boston outdoor community as we have done since 2003.
