Costco workers in Norfolk have unionised and Costco are seething.

Costco does have that ethos, but it’s still essentially a benevolent dictatorship without the power dynamic of a union

It’s also a bit of a farce, Costco hide behind their ethos while handing out no more than 3% raises a year and that’s for exceptional work. They just paid out a dividend to shareholders too

If you get 3% every year you’re above average inflation over a career’s length.

Doesn’t matter. A laborer somehow has to pull “exceptional” to even qualify, they can’t trust that percentage to always be there, and CostCo is still a profiteering venture which means the execs are still stealing labor and pocketing surplus for themselves. No, that’s not an adequate defense.
