EVERETT — Truck drivers who deliver groceries and produce to Costco warehouses in Snohomish County and the rest of Washington said they will strike if no agreement is reached by Jan. 31.

The 150 truck drivers are part of 18,000 Costco workers in six states represented by the Teamsters Union. Members voted Jan. 18 by an 85% margin to authorize a strike.

If the strike occurs, it would impact Costco warehouses in Washington, California, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Virginia, where the Teamsters Union represents workers.

Washington could be less impacted than the other five states because the union only represents the truck drivers, not store employees as in the other states.

7. As an owner/operator,

I do belong to the Teamsters Union and will NOT cross picket lines.
That said, I rarely deliver to Costco, but if I get a load to Costco and have to cross my trucking bros picket line, I won't do it and neither will my other driver.
