REI Union Threatens Boycott, Buzzy Ice Cream Blows Up, and Who Won the Milk-Chugging Contest?
About this episode
The episode discusses the REI labor struggle, a milk-chugging contest, and a new ice cream company's expansion in Denver.
A banner appeared outside REI’s flagship store at the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River a few days ago, calling on REI corporate to offer the workers’ union a better contract or risk a boycott. So, what does REI’s inner turmoil mean for Denverites just looking to buy some snowboard wax? Contributor and stand-up comedian Josh Emerson joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to dig into the REI labor struggle. Plus, between reports of a “milk off” in Observatory Park and a buzzy ice cream company’s expansion, it’s dairy week in Denver. Want a sweet, green pennant with Denver written all over it?
