\u201cI came to REI because I wanted a community of like-minded people who cared about something bigger than themselves,\u201d said Celina Pfarr (she\/they), who works at the Castleton store. \u201cI was proud to stand alongside my co-workers and vote \u2018yes\u2019 today for a say in our future and to join the growing REI union movement. It has been a tough journey, but also really amazing to build real friendships with my co-workers, both new and tenured, and to see our hard work culminate in this exciting moment. We finally did it!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

This organizing win comes just days after a rally attended by Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett, State Senator Fady Qaddoura, and multiple community groups calling on REI to recognize the union and uphold its mission to have a positive impact on employees, members, and society. A video and photos of the rally are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
