Teamsters union said that Costco rejected 98% of the contract provisions it proposed, underscoring how tensions are rising between both sides ahead of the deadline.
Costco rejected a majority of the Teamsters' demands as the deadline to secure a new contract looms. The Teamsters announced Thursday that the company rejected 98% of the contract provisions it proposed, including language on seniority, inclement weather, paid family leave, bereavement policies, sick time and safeguards against surveillance.
For too long, Costco has hidden behind a fake ‘worker-friendly’ image," O’Brien said. He also said that the company prioritizes "Wall Street and executive bonuses" over its people. "Our message is clear: if you are a ‘worker-friendly’ company, it’s time to stop the bullying, intimidation, and harassment. And if you claim to be ‘pro-worker,’ then prove it at the bargaining table.
