<quoted text>Yes a small deduction and a very good one. They get you more payroll rises and larger ones. As we know Target rises lately have been from very little to none.Ok Think about this. Every year when its time to get a Yearly rise. They can't give you very much. Because Target or your store didn't make very much money that year. So they can only give you from zero to fifty cents. But they are building more Targets all the time. You have to be making money to do that. And if you are not why would you want to. and as of now Target can fire you for anything. With a union you can appeal. And the union can get hearing and they investigate. and make sure it was for a good reason. They stand up for you. Say you have been working for Target for two years and you have always been on time and come to work every day .Suddenly you are going thru something like sickness , divorse , etc. You start missing work. Well target will not like that. You are missing too much work. They fire you. you appeal, the union looks into it. And see that you are a great employyee until now. And you don't deserve to be let go. You just need to fix whatever and you will be back to normal. and you get you job back. Right now they fire you for what ever they want. And there is hardly anything you can do about it. They protect and fight for good treatment and good pay and pay rises. Thats their job. Why and how do you think all those people up north get great pay. And retire with great retirements. Because they have Unions up north. Why do you think big companies like Walmart and Target do not want you to join a union. Because they will not be able to do what they are doing now. They are deathly afraid of unions. If we have a union they will have to pay out more money. So they won't make as much. Thats why they show you videos. And say the union are bad guys. They are tricking you to believe that.

<quoted text> You are one of a few to feel that way. you must of just started at Target. or the changes have not hit your store yet. Give it alittle time. All of us could not be wrong. Target was a Great company to work for. But not any longer. Its not the people at the store . The problem is corporate making all the cut backs. With less team leaders and team members and less hours . And they are adding more tasks. And forget about raises . Some people received .08 to .20 last year. and that with a good review. That kind of raise is a joke. When everything is going up Gas , electric, Rent, water etc.

Does anyone work for Target that doesn't get all of your breaks on time, or asked to work when your technically off the clock or have already punched out? We are trying to do something about this and would like to know if there are others that may benefit from this effort. Please write me :)

Call your state labor department immediately! Make sure you document everything the requests are made to skip your breaks. Wally world had a huge lawsuit about this very thing. Do not discuss this with your HR department. They will set you up to fire you. Be smart and know your rights! Good luck!

I don't think that guns are not allowed in the store. It like if a tm buys beer, it can't be kept in your locker. Must be put in your car. Also, maybe considered a threat to guests or tm's, if they saw shape of gun in your pocket.

Team Lead wrote:

<quoted text>
You clearly don't work in my store. As a part of the leadership team I can tell you how difficult it is to terminate a team member in your workcenter. It is nearly impossible. Also, I have nothing but the utmost respect for my team members. I expect a lot from them, but they know that their hard work doesn't go unnoticed. Also, if they have concerns that they bring to me personally or through chat sessions, they know that I will make those concerns my top priority. I started with target as a team member and am now a Senior Team Lead. I feel I know the company in and out, and I can assure you that at my store the leaders have the utmost integrity and they truly look out for every team member (all 265 of them). I am sorry that you have not had the same Target experience that I have because thus far it has been awesome.

Union Wanted wrote:

Team members at Target need a union. Anyone know where and who we can contact a union. We need a union . I will sign up and I know 98% of the other would too. Target is out of control. With a labor union they would not be able to treat their employees the way they do.
