Costco is pushing back on a shareholder proposal that urges the wholesale club operator to conduct an evaluation of any business risks posed by its diversity, equity and inclusion practices. Investors were expected to vote on the recommendation during the company's annual meeting Thursday.

Costco Teamsters says its members will rally outside the company’s corporate headquarters Thursday during its annual shareholder meeting.

Despite Costco claims it has a stable “cared-for employee base,” over 18,000 employees disagree. Costco Teamsters have voted to strike on Jan. 31.
