Desktop Computer Target spokeswoman Paula Thornton-Greear said that the company offers a wage and benefit package that is "among the best in the retail industry" and that workers don't need a union. "We don't believe that a union or any third-party representative would improve anything, not for our team members, guests or the company," Thornton-Greear said.
Notebooks Though unions have long complained about working standards at Target, the Minneapolis-based retail chain has managed to avoid the sort of criticism and persistent organizing efforts that have plagued Wal-Mart since the 1980s.
Lenovo Union organizers in the U.S. and Canada have accused Wal-Mart of using force and intimidation to prevent organized labor from forming a beachhead in its stores. Last month, Wal-Mart said it would close a store in Jonquiere, Quebec, where 200 workers were close to winning the first union contract at the retail giant.
Hard Drive Yet officials with Local 789 say Target, like its larger competitor, does not pay its workers enough to live. Workers at the company's stores in the Twin Cities typically make $7 to $10 an hour, according to informal wage surveys done by Local 789 of employees that have left the company. Less than half the company's workers are covered by Target's health insurance plan, the union estimates.
Travelstar Thornton-Greear could neither confirm nor deny these numbers.

As part of the deal, Target has agreed to create 19 new jobs at the SuperTarget.
Software "You can do the math," Hesse said. "That's $38,000 a job for a company that does not need monetary incentives to renovate its stores."
Hard Drives John Zanmiller, mayor of West St. Paul, said the tax increment financing was necessary to keeping Target in the city. "We're competing with outer-ring suburbs that are using [tax increment financing] to pave over cornfields," he said. "I'm convinced that, had we not done it, then another city would have come forward" and lured Target away.
Electronics Local 789 plans to launch an organizing blitz this fall, in which teams of union members will walk into the store in West St. Paul to talk to workers until management throws them out. The union also plans to engage in a practice called "salting," in which Local 789 members will apply for work at the store.
Canon Hesse said Local 789 chose the West St. Paul store because it is surrounded by unionized retail chains, including Rainbow Foods, Cub Foods and Snyders.
