Marianne Williamson needs to have a seat. That response was classy because the Costco reps clearly said they were disappointed in themselves as management for dropping the ball, not in the workers who voted to be heard, and invited workers to talk to managers about concerns any time.

no, it did not but her response pointed out that the PR response did not include any enthusiasm for working with the union, or indicating any support of other Costco employees joining.
Which makes it clear, they still see unions as threats and would prefer to quash them, even if that means treating people with basic decency which they should be doing anyway.

I didn’t get any such impression from the Costco response. I got they were disappointed that one was considered necessary due to their management failure.

"Were sorry we weren't able to keep things just above the line of so shit that people dont unionize" isn't exactly a sympathetic position either

Oh for the love of the god I don’t believe in, by every measure this is an exception response relative to every other company dealing with unions. Some of you were born to be unhappy.

Its in what they are not saying, not what they are saying that is her point. They could have embraced and encouraged the Union. Dont get me wrong, as long as its not cynical this is a great response but it could be better by actually being pro employee by supporting the union and encouraging it.

I’m sorry they didn’t word it to your exact liking.

I mean, unions are a threat to a profit-and-valuation-at-all-costs operation. That’s why everyone should be able to have one :)

Also the habitability of the planet. People should consider a union if for no other reason its the most impactful thing they can do to change companies from destroying our planet.
