Stupid is as stupid does.

Costco is unionized?.......who knew? 🤷

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Costco needs to ban DEI right now.

F’em.

[FlingWingFlyer]

They celebrate DEI. That’s why they need union thugs raiding their paychecks. Idiots.

[No name given]

My thoughts exactly.

BTW...if one wants to share in Costco’s profits, one can buy Costco stock like everyone else.

The place is basically a giant warehouse......the most skilled labor I ever saw in there were the butchers. Lol!

[BigEdLB]

And????? SO?????

[PGalt]

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

The strike could go on for a year and I would still be using the case of toilet paper and paper towels that I bought the last time I was there.

“Welcome To Costco, I don’t love you!”

Where will people go to panic when 2” of snow are forecast?

The checkout people do a very good job. We’ll get in a line that looks like it will take a half-hour; and then in ten minutes, we’re out.

Costco gas is about 20-30 cents less per gallon than any other place in town. I guess I’d better fill up!

[Jamestown1630]

Do people even go to Costco for that?

[GranTorino]

Bring in the scabs!
I can’t see them shutting down over this.
DEI=DIE

[plain talk]

“The Teamsters covered by the Costco national contract make up 8% of the 219,000 U.S. employees that the company has at 616 U.S. stores, according to company filings.

But a strike by that many workers represents a major strike for a U.S. retailer, which is overwhelmingly non-union.”

[DIRTYSECRET]

Us old folk. I don’t buy in bulk. Those shopping carts are like destruction derby solid. Trader Joe’s is more for singles.

[Vermont Lt]

This represents a very small percentage of Costco warehouses and workers.

I doubt this will end with the teamsters getting everything they want.
