Costco Teamsters Suspend Negotiations Following Card Check Rejection
By Connor Hart
Costco Teamsters suspended negotiations for a new contract after the wholesale retailer rejected a card check agreement that would make it easier for non-union Costco workers to join Teamsters.
The current national contract, which was first negotiated in 2022 and is set to expire on Jan. 31, 2025, is up for renewal and protects more than 18,000 workers across the country, the labor union said Wednesday.
A card check agreement, also called a majority sign-up, is a method of forming a union where workers collect statements of support from a majority of their co-workers to show that they want a union.
The labor union said Costco workers are facing deteriorating working conditions, worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic and changes in the company leadership.
