Hundreds of Wayfair Workers Walk Out Over Furniture Sales to Detention Camp
BOSTON—Hundreds of employees of home-goods delivery giant Wayfair took to the streets in Boston on Wednesday to protest the company’s decision to sell furniture to a government contractor that would be used for children detained at the border.
The workers had already signed a petition demanding that Wayfair halt the sale and change company policy to prevent such sales in the future. But at 1:30 p.m., they streamed out of the company’s office for a public walkout in Copley Square.
Kayla Smith, a Wayfair engineer who has been with the company for a year, said it was the right thing to do.
