Interesting. Pro union and have worked for Costco in the past. Hard to imagine they'd unionize since, at least while I worked there, they paid well and treated us well.

Alllthough, I worked in the foodcourt and that department kind ofgetst treated like second class compared to the checkers and warehouse.

I’d be curious what the unions felt they weren’t getting. I’ve heard nothing but praises from the people I know who work for Costco. The prior ceo was big on employees even when people want him to pay less and lower benefits. He said no. I support the right of people to unionize but sometimes, you’ll end up with less. I do like their letter though. It’s a good letter and how you Should handle the situation.
