    Some numbers that are left out of nearly every news story:

    1. These 18,000 workers are ~5.5% of the ~330,000 total Costco workforce. (Surprisingly wide range of total workforce reported

    2. Reports of Costco annual revenues in the $250B range

    3. Reports of Costco annual profits in the $7-8B range

    4. If the strike happens it would affect 56 stores in 5 states (out of Costco’s 619 total stores). AND, jfc how lazy is it that I cannot find any reporting that says which states and which locations??
