Some numbers that are left out of nearly every news story:
-
These 18,000 workers are ~5.5% of the ~330,000 total Costco workforce. (Surprisingly wide range of total workforce reported
-
Reports of Costco annual revenues in the $250B range
-
Reports of Costco annual profits in the $7-8B range
-
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??

Fuck Costco.
Edit: lol, I nearly never look at my comments… But why is this downvoted? What bootlickers are here to defend Costco? Their customer service is fucking atrocious. Costco doesn’t care about you, bootlickers.
Don’t know where the fuck you’ve been shopping, but my Costco had amazing customer service.
Bought a desk from them recently, and the one I bought was missing the screws for assembly.
I shittly packaged it back up, took it back. Stood in line for 5 minutes with my receipt, and they exchanged it without even looking. Even helped me load the new one into my trunk.
10/10, would purchase furniture again.
I now have even more reasons to go into Costco if it crosses a Teamsters picket.
