Employees at online home furnishings retailer Wayfair walked out Wednesday to protest the company's decision to sell $200,000 worth of furniture to a government contractor that runs a detention center for migrant children in Texas.
The protest triggered a broader backlash against the company, with some customers calling for a boycott. Several hundred people joined the protest at a plaza near the company's Boston headquarters, a mix of employees and people from outside the company.
More than 500 employees at the company's Boston headquarters signed a protest letter to executives when they found out about the contract. Wayfair refused to back out of the contract but told employees Wednesday morning that it would donate $100,000 to the Red Cross.

The employees of Wayfair had better be glad that I’m NOT “running the company”, as all of the people who “walked out”would all be FIRED.

They don't want their company selling their product to the government? I say let them have what they want. In fact, bar that company from doing any further business with the Federal government.
+1.
Fire their sorry rearends.
Doesn’t make any sense, does it?
that’s right. They don’t want to do their small part, to make these allegedly evil camps more humane and comfortable for the people there.
They hired too many women.
It’s what they get for having a presence in such a communist area.
Do these idiots know where their paychecks come from? Or I should say, where the money for the paychecks come from?
They hired some angry women. Who knew they were so angry when hired?
So if the company loses a big contract, even if it leads to employee layoffs, is that ok, because they made their half assed political statement?
If these employees are intellectually honest, they need to quit today. Rather than work for an “evil” company that would do business in supplying equipment to these “evil concentration camps”, they need to resign in protest.
Doesn’t look like 500 people to me!!!
When you have people marching in the streets demanding that foreigners receive equal or better care than tax-paying citizens, then you know a country has failed in its basic duty.
If another Operation Wetback does not occur by the end of the year, and if judges and sanctuary city/states are not brought to justice by them breaking the law, our goose will be cooked.
Taxpayers like me will NOT continue to work only to see our hard-earned money go to illegal aliens. I will quit both of my jobs and go underground.
Hey there, you with the people over profits sign, do you realize that you get a paycheck out of the gross profit of the company you work for? Does anyone understand that concept?
They don’t want their company to sell cheap Chinese furniture to the US Government so that Mexicans can sleep in comfort tax-free ?
Fine there’s always IKEA.
Well so long. Take your sign, shove it, and don’t let the door hit your sign on the way out.
Why would anyone want to make the conditions in the detention centers more uncomfortable?
