    When I was working at Costco I was told that the reason Costco has better benefits than most places is they just match the union contracts in order to avoid further unionization. And I gotta say it works pretty well, I tried bringing up starting/joining a union while I was there and most people just didn’t want to rock the boat and risk losing what they were getting already.

      Costco seems to be a pretty great place to work, even without a union. They really do seem to be one of the last honest companies. I bought a router there a couple of years ago, and two weeks later I received a check for $20 in the mail, with an explanation that they negotiated lower pricing for the routers and are passing the savings along to the customers.
