More than 18,000 Costco workers are preparing to strike unless the company agrees to a contract that reflects its record-breaking profits by 31 January. The Teamsters union, which represents the employees, has accused Costco of rejecting nearly all of its proposals, calling the retailer's stance 'aggressive' and 'anti-union'.
The potential strike could disrupt operations across Costco's 600+ stores in the US, putting pressure on the retail giant amid rising worker activism and corporate profits.
