EXPOSED! – WATCH: TARGET’s New Anti-Union Propaganda Video – “Happy fun time is over”
by Will Kohler
Like
Walmart, many of Target’s employees are underpaid, forced to work
part-time schedules and are forced to resort to safety nets like SNAP,
housing assistance, Medicaid, and EITC while shareholders reap the
benefits of their hard work and Target’s CEO, Gregg Steinhafel, makes
almost $14,000 per hour–(that’s $3,000 per hour more than Walmart CEO Mike Duke)
So natuarally TARGET, like corporate welfare queen Walmart is TERRIFIED of unions coming into their stores
Now,
Target has updated its anti-union training video that every Target team
member is forced to watch–and it’s one of the worst things you will
ever see.
Meet
Ricardo and Dawn, the hip young Target anti-union propagandists (and of
course non-union actors)! It’s their job to walk new employees through
the dark and scary netherworld world that is the encroaching on them.
The threat of unions to take away their freedoms and kill puppies (or is
it take away their puppies and kill freedoms?).
Dawn
highlights the fun “open-door” policy and explains that if a union
comes in, that all will probably end. The dictatorial union bosses will
force employees to sacrifice their ability to even maintain day-to-day
communications with management without union involvement.
“But
if the unions did try to organize our team members, chances are they
would change our fast, fun and friendly culture,” Dawn adds later.
That’s right–if you bring in a union, happy fun time is over!
The
video warns that jealous unions “want what we have.” Why? What is so
wonderful about Target that unions fear it so? “We’re a target, because
unions are threatened by us. And here’s why: when we take business away
from retailers that are unionized, those companies may downsize,
reducing the number of employees. And that means the union loses
members, which is a big problem for the union business. Did you notice
how I just called it a business? Because that’s what it is.”
The 15 minute video is complete and utter Koch brothers bullshit.
Avoid TARGET at all cost. Its nothing more than a Walmart type pig with lipstick.
