Yet another reason Costco is one of my favorite stores. Not only can you get things in huge quantities for a good cost, but they practice model labor policies. As a result, their labor costs are half that of Wal-Mart, despite paying much higher wages and providing excellent benefits.
So, it's gratifying to discover that Costco executives have been contributing to Democratic candidates. Howard Dean, Joe Lieberman, John Kerry and John Edwards have received contributions from various company officers. Jeff Brotman, the chairman, not only gave $2000 to the Lieberman campaign, he gave $5000 to Victory Campaign 2004, which calls for an aggressive challenge to the right-wing on the ground and on the air.
