Everything is cool right now for them because they got good management. But at some point, some MBA grad gets elected to lead and drain Costco out of all good will.
There’s no attention shift. Costco has been in active negotiation with their unionized employees for a few months now and we’ve been paying attention to that. Workers are about to strike because Costco hasn’t been forthcoming. An alternative way to see this is Costco shifting attention away from the strike and bolstering its image as propaganda that weakens the union’s hand. Are you sure you’re looking out for workers here and not (inadvertently) Costco’s leadership?
Oh yeah, that’s a big one. I hope they’re learning some theory so they are able to do the right restructuring. A hand picked leader could work, transferring ownership to Valve’s employees and reforming it as a worker co-op along with that would be more resilient.
Costco is one of the most pro worker employers in the US
Edit: every workplace should still be unionized
Until they’re not.

Same with Steam.
“If the good thing is bad then it’s bad”
Wow so insightful.
If you care about workers rights you should focus on the corporations that are suppressing them instead of making concessions.
This shifting attention onto fucking Costco is lazy propaganda, but i guess it works on you.

Yeah I’m scared of what will happen to steam when Gabe retires. I hope he’s hand picked a really solid successor

Right now… it’s “one of the most pro worker employers in the US” right now.
If they have no problem with being such, then they shouldn’t mind a few collectively bargained contacts which ensure they stay that way.

Representing 10% of Costco’s workforce. The new agreement Costco announced doesn’t cover the unionized workers.
And that’s the thing, from what I read, they’ve been difficult during the ongoing negotiations.
