Off Target

Labor has targeted Target for organizing efforts. None of its 1700+ stores is organized. But a petition was filed at a New York store, and the election results are in. By a vote of 137 - 85 the employees rejected the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) as their representative for purposes of collective bargaining.

Knock, knock

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has targeted employers in five states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee) for inspections to ensure compliance with I-9 employment eligibility verification.
