Summary

Over 18,000 unionized Costco employees, represented by the Teamsters, voted overwhelmingly to authorize a nationwide strike if a new contract is not reached by January 31.

Workers demand “fair wages and benefits,” citing Costco’s $254 billion in annual revenue and a 135% profit increase since 2018.

Practice pickets have already begun nationwide.

Union leaders warn that failure to reach a “historic, industry-leading agreement” could result in a strike, with workers emphasizing their role as the “backbone” of the company’s success.
