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.

Thanks for spreading the word @rbreich.bsky.social! Workers and consumers are done with invasive, unfair, budget-busting business practices. I was so proud to work with @ufcw3000.bsky.social, @councilmember-amr.seattle.gov, @cmdionnefoster.seattle.gov, and CM Saka to pass this legislation.

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.
A picture of two people standing on a side walk with clipboards and a sign reading "Stop the union busting: BOYCOTT REI CO-OP". Below is the logo for the Cascadia Journal and then the head-and-by-line, "Why is REI acting more like a corporation than a co-op?"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."

Workers are fed up. Rather than deliver the wages workers need to live and the time workers need to #optoutside so we can deliver the level of expertise our members expect, REI is spending that money on union busting law firms who charge thousands of dollars an hour to crush workers.

Rich Smith, communications director for UFCW Local 3000, says REI agreed to 25 parts of a first union contract but then walked away from negotiations over a $200,000 gap. That may be the equivalent of 100 hours of legal work by REI’s Morgan Lewis attorneys, who bill up to $2,000 per hour according to court records. The REI board moved its annual meeting from May to February, changed the co-op’s bylaws to allow board members to be appointed without a vote, reduced the annual member meeting to eight minutes long, and took away members’ right to ask questions at the annual meeting.Those changes were implemented last August during an agreed-upon six-month media blackout during union bargaining, a “non-disparagement” agreement that meant the union couldn’t inform the public.

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.
A picture of a woman holding a mic, along side REI workers standing together and chanting. Text inside the pic reads "Boycott REI co-op, This May 15th to 25th." Text below the picture reads "Northwest Labor Press, Union says it's time to boycott REI, by Conner Kelley, May 13, 2026". REI Union is calling for shoppers to boycott REI during the co-op’s Anniversary Sale, which runs May 15-25.

REI has strayed dramatically from its roots. For the last four years, the "co-op" has run an intense union-busting campaign using the same anti-union law firm that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Trump use to fight against workers' rights.

An investigation last year by Groundwork Collaborative, Consumer Reports and More Perfect Union found that Instacart, a grocery delivery service, was secretly employing AI pricing software to conduct hidden price experiments on consumers. The report found price discrepancies between consumers could leave some families paying up to $1,200 more a year.

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.
