PICKET SIGN OF THE WEEK: Costco fleet drivers

On Tuesday, Costco fleet drivers represented by Teamsters Local 174 in Sumner, Wash., held a practice picket outside the company’s distribution center. Last year, these drivers made history as the first Costco distribution workers to organize with the Teamsters. Now, the 150-member group is fighting to join the Costco Teamsters National Master Agreement, which expires on January 31. Across the country, more than 18,000 Costco Teamsters are demanding an industry-leading, record-breaking contract that reflects the company’s massive profits. Workers are prepared to strike if Costco fails to deliver an acceptable offer by the contract deadline. See more here.
