Costco, Teamsters avoid strike as tentative agreement reached

Thousands of workers were ready to strike over the weekend, demanding better wages, benefits, and protections against surveillance. The Teamsters union, representing 18,000 workers or 8% of Costco's US employees, led the charge. The strike would have impacted 56 stores across six states, marking the largest strike at an American retail chain and the first ever at Costco.
