Union Activity At Target
I am curious if there has been an increase in the anti-union rhetoric at the Stores and the DC’s around the country. When I worked at T-587 every once in a while there would be a mandatory anti-union meeting when the subject ever came up. With the very real threat that Amazon may have a unionized Distribution Center by the end on the month I’m wondering if Target is sweating the same thing happening to them. In my opinion, they should be. Target has been modeling their internal structure after Amazon for two decades. Complete with management structure, employee performance metrics and treatment and an overall employees are infinitely expendable and are to be used up and replaced attitude. They fired me for standing up to it and the news about Amazon has brought back a lot of memories (both good and bad). I hope the Amazon thing plants a seed that grows and grows and grows. Workers are people and deserve to be treated as such – not drones, slaves or machines.

I wish somebody would do something. That company needs a massive overhaul.
I'd love to see a unionization effort pop up. There was one that happened years ago, but amounted to nothing. The fact that they're doing so much bs recently really drives home the point that they want to compete for the worst environment to work in vs. Amazon. I really hope, despite the recent loss, that people don't give up hope and that they make an effort to continue trying to unionize, not just at Amazon, but everywhere, including Target.
