A Teamsters union of 18,000 Costco workers has voted to authorize a strike within the next two weeks if their contract demands are not met. The union claims in a statement that the wholesaler and membership store has failed to present a fair contract offer, despite “record-breaking profits.”
“Our members have spoken loud and clear—Costco must deliver a fair contract, or they’ll be held accountable,” Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien said in the statement. “From Day One, we’ve told Costco that our members won’t work a day past January 31 without a historic, industry-leading agreement.”
