REI workers and shoppers are set to BOYCOTT the co-op’s biggest sale of the year, and it’s time for YOU to join them.
This boycott is a direct response to four years of union-busting and bad-faith bargaining from the company.
If REI truly believes in its co-op values, it’s time for them to prove it at the bargaining table and deliver a fair contract for the workers who keep it running.
No contract. No sale.
🚨 Boycott the REI Anniversary Sale: May 15–25🚨

The spirit of Cinco de Mayo is rooted in resistance and collective strength.

Unions have long been powered by the contributions of Mexican and Mexican American workers, whose labor, culture, and leadership continue to shape our movement. Today, we celebrate that legacy and recommit to fighting for dignity, fair wages, safe workplaces, and justice for all.

¡Sí se puede!

“That's why I support U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and that's why our Union, UFCW Local 663, has endorsed Peggy Flanagan for Senate.”

Happy International Workers' Day!

United Food and Commercial Workers Local 663 (Local 663) stands in solidarity with people in Minnesota and across the country who will engage in May Day Strong actions on May 1st. While supporting participation in this day of action, Local 663 is not encouraging or authorizing members to engage in any form of strike or work stoppage, and all Local 663 members should honor the no-strike provision in their labor agreement and report to work as scheduled on May 1st.

However, Local 663 supports and encourages all of its members to engage in May Day Strong activities, such as refraining from shopping, staying home from school, attending rallies outside of work hours, and other lawful actions that do not conflict with work obligations.
