I was pretty open and explicit about my intentions? I included links in my original post about a petition I started at my store along with the petition from TWU.

I posted this link in my original message as well? I know I was long-winded...it’s at the bottom of my message under the poll/survey.

Hello all! I want to encourage you to check out the demands from Target Workers Unite! I am not advocating for a union, but collaboration from team members at the store level to get involved and help demand safer conditions as the pandemic continues and our country is still being hit hard by the...

Hi there, I appreciate that you’ve continued dialogue with me. I understand about unions not always being a good option for workers. And I also agree that unions can take advantage of folks, like you’re explaining here. I’m not advocating for starting a union, but rather organizing in general...

Hmmmmm, I disagree. I am trying to make a point and be overt about it; the fact that so many folks have impulsively attempted to convince me not to be so open, that this won’t work, that I’ll be fired...is a culture of fear and intimidation that is created not just by management in stores. I...

If anyone voted with a "Yes!" or "I'm nervous..." feel free to message me directly on here and we can exchange contact information and chat more about what we can do!! 🙌⭐🌈💚

The thing is, we need to build a culture of normalizing worker organization and advocating for our needs and environment. It's not OK that people are fired for speaking out about unsafe conditions in workplaces. This bullying culture is rooted in capitalism, maintaining the status quo, class...

If they do that as a result of them being upset or having issue that I'm talking with other team members about organizing? Yes, it IS illegal. I know this is not an official site, however, I am aware that there are team leads and others who can see this forum.

Yes! I love your thinking! Thank you for sharing this on here!! I appreciate your support and criticism!

Is this intimidation? I don't know who you are, but I have federally protected rights to talk about safety with others in my work place and on here, as a Target forum. This feels like it is meant to deter me or create fear and it's inappropriate and illegal for you to try to intimidate me if you...

I am a team member in Louisville Kentucky. I actually don't work for a union, nor am advocating for one. I came up with the demands in my petition on my own actually. I am an anti-capitalist and believe in speaking up for myself and others and I understand the risks of advocating for ourselves...

Oh yes, I’m pretty aware of that. We don’t have to join a union to organize or collaborate together!

Those are good points! The thing is, realistically it WOULD be hard to organize without them getting rid of folks. However, I feel like by organizing openly and taking about our legal rights to do so, it may provide a buffer. And if Target does take retaliatory actions, making sure to file...

To me, I’m not thinking about of how we are in comparison to other stores because I’m trying to get folks to realize that our standards for safety and pay in retail industry are low to start with. The fact that hundreds are still allowed into our stores and they were already going to raise us to...

Thank you! I know this could get intense. I’m definitely looking to engage folks respectfully. I am also ok with working through disagreements and having touch dialogue. Please keep it up if you can or maybe delete folks posts who are being rude or overtly disrespectful?
