‘It’s our job to make it as hard as possible for them to operate these camps,’ says a Wayfair employee as hundreds rally in Boston to protest the online retailer’s sales to a Texas detention camp housing migrant children
BOSTON - Several hundred people, including employees of Wayfair Inc, rallied in Boston on Wednesday to protest the online retailer’s sale of furniture for a Texas detention facility housing migrant children.
Employees have cited an internal document on the sale. A posting on Twitter, on @wayfairwalkout, said that 547 employees had signed a petition demanding that Wayfair halt all business with border camps. “CEO said no,” the tweet said. Wayfair did not respond to multiple requests for comment. It has made no public comment and has not denied the sale.
Wayfair management rejected the petition’s demands in an internal memo on Tuesday, according to the Boston Globe.
