Target’s Anti-Union Web site is, um, really blatantly anti-union

I get that not all professions or jobs need unions, but it’s kind of insane how Target doesn’t even pretend to be even-handed with their “informational” web site on how being a part of a union would affect their employees. Their scare tactics touch on everything from take-home salary to health benefits. Target’s message seems to be: “You don’t need a union. We’ll take care of you, promise! If you do join, we may have to lower your salary and/or decrease your health benefits. No pressure, though.” The current focus of this site is the store’s Valley Stream, NY employees. I wish them good luck throughout this process, and hope that their working conditions improve, regardless of the outcome of this election.
