Costco workers in Norfolk, Virginia, voted “overwhelmingly” Wednesday to unionize with Teamsters Local 822. It’s the union’s first organizing victory at the big-box wholesale retailer in two decades, the Teamsters said in an announcement.
At the Norfolk store, which is located near a major highway junction, and one of only two Costco stores in the Hampton Roads region in Southeastern Virginia, the 238-worker group seeks representation to address years of concerns and improve working conditions.
