COSTCO, run on KKK/DEI values is now facing a union strike. Of course, other stores like Target will be open. If people see the strike, starting February 1 becomes real, folks will flood COSTCO before the deadline. My guess is that a strike will not happen—if it did it will stay open for business—and real workers will get the jobs.
“- Teamsters said on Sunday its members at U.S. retailer Costco Wholesale voted in favor of a nationwide strike, as they entered a final round of talks to reach a new contract ahead of a Jan. 31 deadline.
The union, which represents more than 18,000 workers at Costco, said 85% of its members voted to authorize a strike.
“The vote is a direct result of the company’s continued failure to bargain constructively,” the union said in a post on X, adding that the master agreement between the two parties expires on Jan. 31.
Translated that means COSTCO will not be bullied.

Costco did not immediately respond to a Reuters’ request for comment outside regular business hours.
The final week of negotiations begins on Jan. 20, the union said in another X post.
The Teamsters union bankrupt FEDCO They succeeded in forcing Price Club to merge with Costco to survive. As the cost of food and other items go up, people’s buying power goes down so that peoples’ spending habits are lowered to the pint that they can no longer support the store.
COSTCO isn’t the only bulk seller in Stockton, I can go there. Strikes give consumers alternatives and when they drive them to non-union stores, we may find better prices and a great variety of stuff much like Costco has. I imagine we can still order products online, so we don’t have to see stupid folks marching like piss ants yelling child-like slogans of Unfair! You have a job folks and a historic election said that things were lousy, so a new Sheriff took over.
A rising tide raises all boats and they union heads know that but are themselves greedy and bleed the union members for more money too. I call that Unfair!
