A week ago their union announced 80% support amongst their union workers for increased pay and they threatened to strike starting jan 31st if wages weren’t increased. I forget exact numbers but last year they still made like 7 billion in income (200billion revenue) so they could afford to give their employees raises.
Don’t get me wrong, Costco is cool and nice, but this is why unions are good
