Costco, Teamsters Reach Tentative Deal to Avoid Strike
Posted On: Feb 01, 2025
Feb. 1, 2025 | COLLECTIVE BARGAINING | A threatened strike at 56 Costco stores across six states has been averted for now, as the company and negotiators for the Teamsters union, representing 18,000 workers, reached an 11th hour tentative agreement, the union told CNN early Saturday morning. Full terms of the deal were not immediately available. Costco did not respond a request for comment. The strike would have been the largest ever at an American retail chain, and the first ever at the big box retailer. The agreement, announced several hours after the contract expired at 11:59 p.m. PT Friday, does not completely end the threat of a strike. WBALTV.com
