REI managers began morning shifts this week at the company’s flagship store in Manhattan by reading aloud a series of talking points about the company’s stance against unionization. Kate Denend, a sales specialist in the camp department at REI’s Manhattan store said managers called the union “a third party” and claimed it would be bad for REI. 

“Our main communication from the company about the union drive has been through morning huddles,” she said. “The manager reads the same opening statement.” Denend said workers have responded by asking “‘what do you mean a union would be bad for us?’ and they’re like ‘we’ll get this info for you soon.’”
