Seattle just became the first city to pass a ban on surveillance pricing by grocery stores. The City Council passed a proposal stopping large grocery stores and online grocery retailers from using race, gender, browsing history, employment, or AI software to change prices from consumer to consumer.

Answer: Because they think they can. But REI Union and REI members are fighting to stop this corporate slide and bring the co-op back to its roots.

Faced with several years of profit losses, the co-op has started to act like a typical profit-hungry corporation. It has engaged in union-busting and discouraged employees – known affectionately as "green vests" – from joining unions.

In response, unionized REI workers teamed up with 70,000 co-op members fed up with REI's corporate behavior who pledged to boycott REI during its biggest sale of the year in mid-May.

“I’m proud to have stood alongside REI workers during this year’s Anniversary Sale and not shop,” said Margo Polley, a co-op member in Seattle. “I was shocked to hear about the treatment of workers. REI is supposed to be the good guys."

Boycotting REI is not a decision @reiunion came to lightly, but the company's actions have left us no other choice. Not shopping during the largest sale of the year will have a dramatic impact, and, as employees of REI, we have a vested interest in seeing it prosper.

Stop the price gouging in grocery stores. Tell your State Representative to support HB 2481 today!

A picture of a grocery cart in the produce department at a store. A pair of hands ties a knot in the top of a bag of onions. Below is text reading "Seattle Times WA law makers consider bill to end retail surveillance, surge pricing By Shauna Sowersby January 22, 2026"

If you’ve never heard of surveillance pricing or surge pricing, you are not alone. But both practices have crept into retail operations, leading lawmakers in Washington state to take action this legislative session. House Bill 2481, sponsored by Rep. Mary Fosse, D-Everett, and a host of other House Democrats, aims to rein them in.

Surge pricing refers to retailers changing the price of a product based on demand. Surveillance pricing, on the other hand, involves companies collecting consumer data to build individual profiles and using AI to set personalized prices depending on the consumer.

Imagine you’re at the grocery store with a friend. You buy the same item, but companies have collected data about you and your shopping habits, so you end up paying more than your friend. The difference may not be huge, but it is noticeable, and it can add up.

This Saturday, Highline’s station will open, and the region’s light rail system will grow by nearly 8 miles, its fourth expansion in the past two years. It is expected to add up to 23,000 riders to the 120,000 who already take the train on the average weekday. With three new stops in South King County — Kent Des Moines, Star Lake and Federal Way Downtown — the spine of the system will stretch 40 miles.

"Affordability crisis" is a nice way to describe corporations hiking prices for profits while the politicians they bought cut food and health benefits. Join our Fresh Food for All campaign to organize and fight back!

A picture of a meat department self-serve shelves. Below is the text: Forbes How Grocery Clerks Are At The Center of the Food Affordability Crisis. By Errol Schweizer, Monday, November 24, 2025.

Grocery clerks and cashiers are at the heart of the food affordability crisis. Many of their customers can’t afford enough good food or are trading down to lower quality or more processed items. And as essential workers, clerks and cashiers are typically paid far below living wages, especially as food inflation has outpaced real wage growth. Like their customers, essential grocery workers are making difficult choices to feed their families and communities, and many are hungry for the holidays.

Cynthia Hernandez is Customer Service Clerk at Ralphs in South Los Angeles. “The emotional toll is visible and real. I have seen customers become visibly distressed and even break down in tears at the checkout when they realize they cannot afford the food they need.”

“When the SNAP benefits stopped, it was an immediate shock to my budget. As a single mother with three children, that assistance is a critical part of my ability to buy groceries each month,” Cynthia Hernandez explained.

This isn’t just affecting individuals but entire families and communities. Cynthia is also supporting her 65-year-old mother, who is a SNAP recipient and also had her benefits cut. When Cynthia’s benefits were restored, they were stretched to cover two households.

A study of Kroger employees in 2022 revealed that over 75% faced food insecurity. While many employees have fought for and won wage gains, costs of living increases eclipsed their victories.

A while back, Kroger and a British company called Ocado partnered to build robot warehouses in an attempt to keep up with Amazon's ecommerce business. Fast-forward seven years and the bet is failing massively.

The company said on Tuesday it would shutter the centers it operates with British online supermarket and technology group Ocado in Wisconsin, Maryland, and Florida in January, while monitoring the rest.

"The pandemic bump didn't hold, and shoppers moved back to stores quickly, so the economics of running dedicated ecommerce facilities may no longer make sense," said eMarketer analyst Suzy Davidkhanian.

As union members, we call out injustice when we see it in our workplaces. Sign Tanggol Migrante Movement's petition demanding accountability for Kuya G and all detained immigrants. actionnetwork.org/petitions/ju...

After more than five months in detention, Kuya G had lost 40 pounds from malnutrition and extreme medical neglect. A lawful permanent U.S. resident for nearly 20 years, he had tried to get treatment inside the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma. Instead, he suffered until his symptoms were so severe that he was finally sent to St. Joseph Medical Center. There, he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and a bone infection, requiring the amputation of part of his foot.

Charlie King, a UFCW Local 3000 union representative, joined the rally to share hospital workers’ solidarity with Kuya G, and to call attention to the ways patients and healthcare workers are harmed by the presence at the hospital of armed guards working for ICE. UFCW Local 3000 represents medical techs at St. Joseph.

“Our members believe hospitals are for healing, not detention,” said King.

“Kuya G is fighting for his life at St. Joseph Medical Center,” said Ker of Malaya Movement Tacoma, which helped plan the rally. “Kuya G has shared that he feels hopeless and in pain, both physically and emotionally. In moments like this, when the system tries to break his spirit, we must demand accountability on every level.”

Tanggol Migrante is asking supporters to sign their petition in support of Kuya G, and if able, to donate to his legal fund.
