Negotiations for a new worker contract between retail store chain Costco and labor union International Brotherhood of Teamsters could not reach a deal, with the union claiming that the company is not accepting their demands.
Costco’s worker contracts are set to expire on Jan. 31, 2025. On Nov. 11, Costco rejected several proposals made by Teamsters, including policies regarding paid family leave, sick time, safeguards against employee surveillance, and paid time off for employees during the death of their loved ones, according to a Dec. 12 statement from the union.
