Yesterday we told you about Jason Kellner, a former Target manager who says that he was more or less forced to work through his mandatory breaks—and then fired for doing so. This prompted quite a few current and former Target workers to write to us with their own stories of Target employment woe—as every story about…
It's time to check in on the doin's at Target, the Union-Busting Big Box Store with the marginally more upscale reputation than the other Union-Busting Big Box Store. How is Target screwing employees today? By firing them, for working too much.
A horde of foamy-mouthed "frugalistas" took down the website of corporate megalith Target for several hours this morning, when Italian knitwear brand Missoni launched its 400-piece "Missoni for Target" collection. I won't lie, I am not above this. I, too, visited Target.com this morning, seeking a pair of zig-zag…
Earlier this month, employees at a New York Target store voted against unionizing after a long, protracted battle between union organizers and corporate operatives. Now, the union's filed an official challenge, alleging that Target broke the law.
After a long and intense battle between union organizers and corporate anti-union forces, workers at the Valley Stream, NY Target store last Friday voted against unionizing. But a few good things did come out of this whole messy process.
Workers at the Target store in Valley Stream, N.Y. voted against joining the United Food and Commercial Workers on Friday, 137-85. Had the measure passed, the Valley Stream location would have been the first Target in the U.S. to be unionized.
The story of Target's hilarious-yet-sinister anti-union employee training video just does not stop getting more perversely fascinating by the day! Today's update: both of the actors in this video are in unions. And one of them is America's president!
Earlier this week we brought you Target's cheesy-yet-repugnant anti-union video, which is used to "train" new employees. Target has issued a (very muted!) statement that the video's no longer in use. That's not what we heard.
We've obtained a copy of Target's notorious internal anti-union propaganda video, which it shows to all new employees in America when they're hired. As far as we know, it can't be found online anywhere else.
For some time now, America-in-store-form Wal-Mart has been experiencing declining sales, despite its attempts to use all types of different items as hooks to lure shoppers back in. Great! But Target has problems too. Wherefore the big box store?
Ginormous Wal-Mart alternative Target is the subject of a unionization campaign at one of its New York stores. Because Target is a virulently anti-union company with a well-known reputation for ridiculously simplistic corporate propaganda, it's only natural they're bombarding their workers at this particular store…
Last week, we brought you true stories about life as a Target employee, in honor of the ongoing campaign to unionize the virulently anti-union retailer. Today, we bring you the huge second installment.
Well-branded big box retailer Target—a staunchly anti-union company—is now the target of a union campaign. Yesterday, we asked for Target workers to send us their stories of life on the inside. The response was fairly overwhelming.
Yesterday, we learned that friendly red-hued big box retailer Target is now the "target," ha, of a union campaign here in New York. Goodbye, Target's reputation as a place that liberals who don't like Wal-Mart can shop without guilt! But just how anti-union is Target? According to former Target employees: very.
Wal-Mart has long been the target of hard-hitting union campaigns, because it is the nation's largest company as well as an evil union-busting death star. But what about Target? They get off scott-free, just for not being Wal-Mart! Until now.
Today we looked at another sad Wal-Mart story, this one about how no one likes their clothes. Naturally this prompted you lot to commence the Wal-Mart bashing and Target praising, but one lone voice cried out in dissent.
Less-evil-than-Walmart superstore chain Target, embattled with gay rights groups over some donations to anti-gay politicians, is suing a group of protesters who, they claim, have been harassing customers outside of several stores in San Diego.
Top Chef is often full of monsters, but they're usually egotistical chefs, screaming cohosts, and otherwise unruly contestants. Last night the monsters were the lovable ones from Sesame Street. We have never been so tickled by Elmo.
Here is what is happening with grocery stores, in America: the recession and rising commodity prices are squeezing profits. Weird stores like Walgreens and Target are now selling groceries. And men who buy groceries hate grocery ads. No love, anywhere!
