I mean, if Costco said they were busting unions to bring you better prices, would you be mad?
I’m sure this person feels strongly that the tariffs are valuable to reshoring and having actual jobs, so they stand with the tariffs and against their opponents, for a long term benefit even if it means paying taxes now.
IIRC the president of Costco said something like, he viewed any attempt by employees to unionize as a failure of management to treat employees fairly. And, well, he’s right; when employers treat employees in a way that they believe is fair, they don’t feel a need to join a union.
Which is the entire game Costco plays, a national retail workers union would still be vastly better for even Costco’s warehouse workers and those across the board. Costco wants to make sure they remain in control and still maintain a “better than the best” reputation.

Or it could be an Indian troll account.

Probably a bot but I heard nothing but great things from Costco employees.
I personally know current employees in Costco IT that say vastly different things. They are good to warehouse workers because it’s the most visible
Well yeah, I’m not saying Costco is busting unions or bad to their employees. Its just an example.
