REI appeals Monika's case

Thanks Pete for the link. Email sent.

Who are the people making these decisions, and how can they live with themselves?

"The people" is some jack wagon in REI legal who is doing his job and ensuring his job security by prolonging the case using all legal means. They will stop when his boss's boss sends a memo telling the legal dept. to settle because it's causing too much bad press and loss of revenue. Keep the emails flowing and remember to include the fact that you will not be buying from them until they act with morally and in a socially responsible manner.

BTW @ryanl - Where are you getting your info?

Done.

I feel that I need to get more details, but from what I read it seems that REI is definitely not living up to my expectations

Much sympathy. From personal experience, suing a corporation seeking what looks, smells, tastes and feels like a common sense resolution and simple human compassion to laypeople can be a truly byzantine and maddening experience. It's designed that way so individuals will stop fighting due to disgust and weariness. I would urge you, or Monica's estate, to keep fighting this, both as a memorial act/testament to what sounds like her undeniable tenacity, as well as to ideally prevent it from happening to others. I settled a similarly dramatic case to early, and have regretted it ever since. /speech

will send email and not shop there until issue is resolved in Monica's favor

clearly REI is off on this one
