While they're still working to demand the reinstatement of Steven, I have some good and brief news to report for Durham's REI store: after four days on strike, they have won a union election date. Theirs will be held in three weeks on May 25th.
They are still asking you to support Steven by contacting REI's Labor Relations VP, Dan Rodriguez @ prrequests@rei.com.
Another REI store, the one in Boston, has also received its election date, which is May 15th.
