As REI delays Beachwood union election, employees call out alleged union busting tactics
In a virtual panel on Tuesday evening, some members of the group attempting to unionize the REI Beachwood location lamented the company's decision to not voluntarily recognize the union and criticized REI's classification of some jobs that would exclude those positions from being part of the bargaining group.
Confusion as to why Cleveland was seemingly being singled out was the theme of Tuesday's meeting, hosted by RWSDU and featuring a trio of union supporters who feel REI's base pay is at least $3 to $4 under what is financially fair and that the company is engaging in union-busting techniques. Those include more frequent visits from top managers and daily talks about the downsides of unions, they said.
It's possible that REI, as few mentioned on Tuesday, is stalling recognition of Cleveland's union—until, say, the spring—so that its younger, student workforce, who might be more inclined to support the unioin, will naturally weed itself out.
