Target workers OK first union in company’s history

A group of pharmacy workers within Target Corp's store in Brooklyn, N.Y., have won a vote to form a micro-union, making it the first unionized store at the retailer since its inception in 1902, according to Reuters.

A group of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians won an initial ballot, 7-2, to form the union, according to a filing on the National Labor Relations Board website and union officials, the report said.

Target said it will appeal the NLRB's decision to allow the vote to proceed. For the complete story, clickhere.

Since 1990, there have been only two previous votes to unionize at Target stores, at a store in Detroit, and one in Valley Stream, New York. Both were rejected by employees.
