Target, Unions, and the Moment of Truth

- snip -
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.
After we published the video on Monday, the website "Mogulite" ran a short post saying, "we got in touch with Target and they say the video is 'old and hasn't been played for our team members for quite some time.'" Strange, since multiple Target employees have told me they've watched it quite recently. (Also, Mogulite commenters: "I was hired last week. I watched this video last Tuesday. No lie.")

2. Target Management lies, and I don't shop Target !!

wouldn't step foot in one of the stores. It is anti american to shop in a store that demeans workers and lies to the public. what is that thing about truth in advertising?? Oh, that's right there is no honor in the american business community any more, there is too much money and profits to be made handily by cheating and lying.
