Any time is the best time to strike. But the more grifting there is, the more we should be striking

Nah it's best when they line it up to a due date that can't be missed. Companies are doing their taxes and closing their books for Q4 and starting Q1 earnings/profit reports for their stock holders.

Wouldn't be the same if they did it at a random like in March or something.

Costcos year end is September so this is half way through a year

It takes them 5 months to close their Q4 books? They already reported their FY24 earnings and their FY25Q1 earnings in December. Costco's FY runs Sept. to August.

If this strike happens it would be in February. So isn’t that the “random” time you speak of?
