Costco Teamsters win major arbitration case
 Nov. 13, 2025 | The Teamsters won a major arbitration victory against Costco. After Costco Teamsters in Virginia filed grievances over violations of the paid sick/personal time provisions of the Costco Teamsters National Master Agreement, an independent arbitrator ruled that the company violated the contract by shortchanging workers. Under Costco’s so-called “employee agreement,” nonunion workers receive just 80 hours of paid sick time. Teamsters at Costco get 88 hours — and the power to enforce it. Costco Teamsters represented by Local 822 in Virginia will now receive back pay, have unfair disciplines rescinded, and get the full 88 hours of paid time off guaranteed by their union contract. When workers have a union at Costco, management doesn’t make the rules — the contract does!
