An effort is underway to unionize Target workers, and next month employees of the retailer will vote on whether or not to organize.
According to The New York Times, the election will be Target employees' first in more than 20 years. The United Food and Commercial Workers is leading the movement, attempting to convince more than 5,000 workers at 27 New York City-area Targets to unionize.
Target says unions are unnecessary because it pays its employees competitively. Some employees the Times interviews say one of the main reasons they want to unionize is because the company offers too few hours to too many employees, keeping them off of benefits rolls.

if the employees vote yes, they vote themselves out of a job. target has a hard enough time being competive with Wal-mart. union will force the cost of goods to go up, just like CARS, STEEL, HOTELS and anything else unions touch. simple, we will not shop there and DOWN GOES Targett. Unions destroy business in their current form today.
DITTO TO 8:12 !!!!!!
That's why Walmart is getting cozy with Obama and his wife I guess. Walmarts playing the game while the unions take out the competition. Good plan.
Unions suck !
Yes after all unions are bad, with them we got the 40 hour work week, better pay and hours, insurance, pensions, job protection from favortisium and harrassment.
This is just some of the stuff unions are responcible for, kinda why Walmart don't want them in their stores!
All businesses do that underhanded scheduling so they do not have to offer benefits to workers.
