Well timed announcement, are they buying themselves goodwill with the public if the mean old union tries to strike?

This is what happens when you have good union representation and collective bargaining agreements. Great job, Teamsters!
Of note, with this announcement, Costco is only raising the wages of workers at non-union stores. The unionized stores are in the middle of contract negotiations and the union has already voted to authorize a strike
And a company that isn’t greedy as shit
“Welcome to Costco I Love You.”
I love you too, Costco!
I used to work there many moons ago, fantastic place to work.
Wow… That’s insane and I love it!
Fuck yeah. Hopefully that’s full time with benefits.
Those are for scale employees, so yes
It’s a dollar to the top of the scale and 0.50 to the bottom
The Teamsters were set to strike today
Seems like the teamsters targeting Costco is like a school kid targeting the smart and super nice classmate who always helps them with their homework. Wish they’d go after the asshole companies a bit more.
Edit: But then those asshole companies don’t allow unions, so I guess they can’t do much there.
