Email - Hi team, Each of you should have received a training in WD that is called Intro to Labor Relations. Please complete as soon as you can, as the due date is set for next Thursday, Feb. 3rd. Please take notes and write down any questions you have while completing it. I’d like to have a follow up meeting(s) on the content on Monday with any follow up questions you may have. Thanks in advance for your quick response to the training! 

Labor Relations - What works best for Target team members is our ability to meet challenges, resolve issues and grow the business together, without the complications that come from being required to work through a third party. As a leader, a critical part of your job is to ensure your team members are respected, feel valued, and work directly with you to resolve any concerns. This training will help you understand Target’s philosophy on unions and how unions could impact our Brand and our team

What is a Union? - Let’s start with the basics - what is a union? A union is a business that makes money from the dues and fees paid by its members. A union is formed when employees come together and express the desire to have a union act as their representative, typically through an election process

Impacts - A union can impact a business in several ways, most importantly, it takes away leaders’ ability to work directly with team members to solve issues. Other impacts include: reduced flexibility and narrowed job descriptions, increased operational costs, conflict created between management and employees. 

We believe… - Working directly with our teams is the best way to solve issues

Philosophy - Target’s union philosophy reflects our confidence in and our respect for each of our team members. We don’t believe that a union or any other third-party representative would improve anything - not for our team members, our guests, or the company

As a leader… - While you cannot prevent a union from organizing, creating an environment where team members don’t feel the need for a union is critical part of your role
