    Costco aint much better and are very anti union, the warehouse workers get treated better than their counterparts at Walmart but the company doesn’t give a fuck about its workers, just its image of being ‘one of the good ones’. Their response to workers in Virginia forming a union is pretty telling, they also don’t give out a annual cost of living raise even for “exceptional workers”, its maxes out at 3%

      I really do believe that most people who work there enjoy their job and are happy there. Costco has also released a statement about how to become a better company in response to unionization.

        Yes because they don’t want a union to form because then Costco loses control and potentially their reputation. Even if you like you’re job, which I know from personal experience many a Costco do, being in a union is good, it give you a say in the way your work life goes. Costco does not want that which is why they play the song and dance, and yes some of that does equate to a better situation than similar companies, but they are still paying the lowest they believe they can get away with . Being better than their competitors like Walmart, Amazon, and Target is a really low bar
