Hundreds of employees of the online home goods company Wayfair will stage a walkout on Wednesday in protest against its involvement in furnishing border camps. Employees organizing the walkout at the firm’s Boston headquarters say they demanded the company stop its partnership with a government contractor to provide beds for detained immigrants. “We applaud Wayfair workers who are walking out to protest Wayfair profiting from detention centers,” Raices wrote on its official Twitter account. Under the hashtag #WayfairWalkout, customers have planned a boycott of the company in solidarity with workers walking out of the job. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) Wayfair workers couldn’t stomach they were making beds to cage children.
