4. Educate don’t attack


No mocking, demeaning, flamebaiting, purposeful antagonizing, trolling, hateful language, false accusation or allegation, or backseat moderating is allowed. Don’t resort to ad hominem attacks against another user or insult other people, examples of violations would be going after the person rather than the stance they take.

5. No Advertising


Under no circumstance are you allowed to promote or advertise any product or service


6. No factually misleading information

7. Headlines


If the title of the post isn’t an original title of the article then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format “Original title: {title here}”.


8. Staff Discretion


Staff can take disciplinary action on offenses not listed in the rules when a community member's actions or general conduct creates a negative experience for another player and/or the community.

It is impossible to list every example or variation of the rules. It is also impossible to word everything perfectly. Players are expected to understand the intent of the rules and not attempt to "toe the line" or use loopholes to get around the intent of the rule.


9. No posting links to Twitter/X or Meta owned properties


Social Media products such as Twitter/X and Meta Properties (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Threads) are known low quality information sources - they actively spread misinformation without sufficient moderation, hate speech. These platforms each have billionaire owners working actively to eliminate labor protections through direct action, lobbying, performative large scale layoffs and attacks on institutions that enforce labor law.

You are not encouraged to do so, but you may post screenshots from these sites IF THE INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE ON ANOTHER VALID PLATFORM. Screenshots must include info to support a relevant conversation within this community and must show a VISIBLE time/date stamp for posterity. If you are caught manipulating content of a screenshot, your post will be removed and you will receive an indefinite ban from this community at the discretion of the moderator(s)

No pass through/archive services are allowed as they potentially feed traffic back to these services, directly or indirectly (e.g. Services like Xcancel or Nitter)

Why is withholding the vote better than voting against?

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I didn’t get an option to vote against.

From the Union FAQ:

What will I put on my ballot? How do I reject REI’s candidates?

For each candidate, the ballot will give you an option to vote “For” them or “Withhold” your vote against them. You can reject REI’s candidates by voting “Withhold.” By doing so, you’ll signal to REI that you’re ready to see a change on the board away from corporate leadership. It’s time for REI to get back to its roots.

REI has great things. I love their generics of clothing which is amazing. Would be even better if they were unionized. I just voted withdraw on everyone. Its a member co-op it should be union at least.

It looks like the 11th store voted to unionize just this January:

REI Greensboro WINS Union Election

January 24th, 2025 - via RWDSU:

“Tonight, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) announced that workers at the REI Co-op in Greensboro, North Carolina voted to join the RWDSU, making REI Greensboro the eleventh unionized REI store in the country. Greensboro workers proudly unite with green vests organizing under the banner of the REI Union from coast to coast, fighting for fair pay, guaranteed hours, a clear path to full-time status, and transfer opportunities within the company.”

The REI Union is absolutely thrilled to have our coworkers in Greensboro joining our movement. We can’t wait to see what they accomplish with their collective voice as they start negotiating with REI over the changes they need to see at their store. Congratulations Greensboro!

I wonder if my local store in Minnesota is union yet. I can't see any list on the website. But 11 stores is great
