Yeah I mean REI is a worker coop that has a contentious relationship with its own labor union. They've been in a multi-year dispute with the Union only until recently I think.
Wait, what happened recently? I hadn't heard there was an update to the situation
Well my point was moot actually because they are a retail coop not a workers coop.
Oh, yeah I forgot theyre consumer owned, not worker
Was there an update to the union situation though?
This is I think the most recent update: https://www.ufcw.org/press-releases/historic-boycott-of-rei-concludes-after-turning-away-thousands-of-customers-across-30-states-with-nearly-500-boycott-actions/
Thank you, I appreciate you! ❤️
That doesn't seem like it should be possible even of the worker's coop sucked. You learn something new every day. I'm gonna look that up.
Edit: edited it so it sounds less like im accusing you of lying and more like im confused by this new fact.
Edit 2: Ah. REI is(/was? It's not entirely clear) apparently a consumer coop. Something like the British Coop stores or Coop Norden in Scandinavia. The customers are meant to own a share.
Oh fuck, that's right. I forgot all about that. Well ignore me then lmao! Clearly in this case, the customer isn't always right.
In retail as the number of transactions increase the rightness of the costumer approaches zero
