Finally, a boycott I’m not already part of.
What sucks is that not crossing the picket line means shopping at a non-union grocery store.
Pick up your bulk stuff ahead of the strike, and visit your local greengrocer or farmer’s market until it’s done.
There aren’t even any Costco stores near me
Damn, I thought Costco was the (relatively) better one.
This is why. They will be fine
Some numbers that are left out of nearly every news story:
-
These 18,000 workers are ~5.5% of the ~330,000 total Costco workforce. (Surprisingly wide range of total workforce reported
-
Reports of Costco annual revenues in the $250B range
-
Reports of Costco annual profits in the $7-8B range
-
If the strike happens it would affect 56 stores in 5 states (out of Costco’s 619 total stores). AND, jfc how lazy is it that I cannot find any reporting that says which states and which locations??
