Costco Teamsters Vote to Strike, Challenging the Company’s Pro-Worker Stance
Updated On: Jan 22, 2025
Jan. 22, 2025 | COLLECTIVE BARGAINING | Despite Costco claims it has a stable “cared-for employee base,” over 18,000 employees disagree. Costco Teamsters have voted to strike on Jan. 31. Despite company claims it is pro-union, the Teamsters allege that the company expelled union representatives from stores, harassed and intimidated workers for wearing Teamsters buttons, sent employees home and blocked the Teamsters from providing updates on in-store union bulletin boards during negotiations. “This is not the Costco I joined 37 years ago. Something has changed, and not for the better. We can all feel the shift in the corporate culture. Management has become disconnected and dismissive, eroding the appreciation and respect we once had. The top executives have chosen to prioritize corporate shareholders over the very workers who drive this company’s success," said Christopher Reed, pictured, a front-end cashier at Costco's Glen Burnie, MD store and Teamster’s union member.
