In mid-January, the company's shareholders overwhelmingly voted against a proposal urging the wholesale club to evaluate risks posed by its diversity, equity, and inclusion measures. And the shareholders weren't rising up against a corporation trying to do something shitty; in the face of a threatened boycott by MAGA, the Costco board of directors unanimously recommended a no vote on that proposal (which was put forth by a right wing think tank, which did the same at other companies, too), and spoke in strong terms about how their DEI initiatives were not only the right thing to do, but made Costco a better company for both employees and customers. They called out the proposal for the bigotry it was, saying the stated reasoning ("litigation, reputational and financial risks to the company, and therefore financial risks to shareholders”) was BS, it's obvious the real agenda is abolition of diversity initiatives. Costco took too long to reach an agreement with Teamsters and avoid a strike, but it is generally a place you can feel good about giving business to.
