Costco and the Teamsters union have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract, avoiding a strike, the union said Saturday.
Teamsters spokesman Matthew McQuaid confirmed the agreement, which will have to be approved by members.
The Teamsters union represents 18,000 Costco workers in six states: California, Washington, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey and New York. Overall, Costco has 219,000 U.S. employees and 617 U.S. stores. The company said its labor agreement with the Teamsters applies to less than 10% of those stores.
