The National Labor Relations Board Files Mores Charges Against The Super Retailer Target For The Company’s Efforts To Stop A Unionization Campaign For Employees At Its Valley Stream, Long Island Store
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has filed more charges against the Super Retailer Target, adding more charges to what is already a long-running list of the ways Target violated Labor Laws in order to prevent its employees from joining the United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) Union.
Last June, Target intimidated Workers by handing out fliers that raised the question: Will the Store Close if the Union Gets In? The Union charges Target forced its employees to watch a corny anti-Union video and interrogated Workers to the extent that they felt almost criminal-like for supporting the Union.
If that wasn't enough, Target also fired one of the leading pro-Union Voices at its Valley Stream store on Long
Island, a mere seven-weeks after a Union Election was held this past summer.
UFCW Local 1500 Special Projects Director and Target Campaign Director Aly
Waddy said in a released statement: "The NLRB is slowly recognizing Target
manipulated the system, and intimidated their employees with interrogations and
an intense propaganda campaign.
(Target) used every tactic possible with no regard for the law from keeping the
Hard-Working Men and Woman at Target from gaining respect at work. It's reassuring (the NLRB is filing more
charges against Target). Their conduct and disregard for the law
created a slanted atmosphere, making any shot for a fair election impractical. It's a small step that this is not only recognized
by us and the Workers from Target Valley Stream, but the National Labor
Relations Board."
