Election Results at REI Lincoln Park Store
May 4, 2023
On Thursday, May 4, employees at our Lincoln Park, Illinois store participated in an in-person election to determine whether they would be represented by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union. The initial vote tally in the Lincoln Park election is 41 votes for union representation and 8 votes against. There were 5 challenged ballots.
REI believes in the right of every eligible employee to vote for or against union representation. We fully supported our Lincoln Park employees through the vote process and we will continue to support our employees going forward as they begin to navigate the collective bargaining process.
Together we will continue to focus on serving the Lincoln Park outdoor community as we have done since 2019.
