Corporate finally confirmed the hazard pay and safety protocols. We held the line and won.

Brian Cornell and the Target executives are not doing enough to compensate workers for the risks we're taking while providing essential services in this pandemic.
Just like with other essential workers we deserve to have PPE. Hand sanitizer and frequent handwashing aren't enough to protect us or our communities shopping in our stores. We need masks, eye protection, gloves, and we need to limit the traffic allowed in the stores, we need to actually practice the six foot rule.
We need to engage and stress upon our community
members coming into the stores how severe the situation is and for
them to be considerate of us workers by limiting the products they
touch to only what they're going to buy. We haven't been disinfecting
the products on the salesfloor. There are so many shared
points of contact, our stores are becoming hotspots to spread
the virus.
There's no real respect or consideration for Target workers from the executives no matter what they say. We continue to take on all the risks for very little compensation, while they get the luxury to socially distance from the safety of their million dollar homes and make profit of our backs. Either we get these demands met or we all call out sick and refuse work.
1. Hazard Pay (many of us were going to get $15 this year pre-COVID19, giving us pay we were already promised isn't hazard pay)
2. Take the temperature of all team members entering the building, send people with a fever home
3. Shut down all non-essential departments
4. Make work voluntary, granting paid leave to those who don't volunteer
5. Provide PPE such as N95 masks, gloves, and eye protection for workers, and masks for guests shopping in the store to stop contaminated air
6. Expand OPU and Drive Up orders to include all groceries
7. Limit foot traffic in stores so we can practice the six foot rule and 10 person limit

I am a target team member. I am joining the fight in this because something needs to be done to protect us. Capacity levels need to be dropped crowding down aisles, shoppers who aren't actually shopping need to leave we need to keep ourselves safe and its virtually impossible at times!
The conditions are dangerous. As a target worker my health is not protected. My store allows 388 people into the store and at many points I have 4-5 guests too close to me asking questions for non essential products
I work for one of the target distribution centers and can tell you the “safety practices” put in place by target are nothing more than a publicity stunt. We’ve had to personally alter policies to make them make sense especially when it comes to cleaning the equipment.
I am a frequent Target shopper as well as being someone with a compromised immune system. I also have friends who are employees. Target should take these precautions for the sake of their employees as well as their customers.
They really don’t care about our well being like yes they do emergency cleaning all throughout the day but not once have we been asked if WE as loyal employees asked if we were okay on supplies or food etc.. nor were we given bonus pay for this hectic supply demand
I stand with all of you!
I work for target and I am currently on COVID leave. Took me so much going around in circles to get the benefits people to email me back and I didn't even know I was supposed to let them know I was gonna be out I thought I only had to let the call in line know. It's been 15 days not and I go back to work in 3 days. I didn't get a single dime of pay during that 15 days that they supposedly give us. I am guessing I will get it in the next few days. I hope so anyway. Nobody should have to be this sick and also have to stress over finances.

I have been exposed to COVID 19 in my store by more then 5 people in the last 2 weeks. I am not eligible to take a paid leave and I cant necessarily afford to take a month off not paid. Im scared and I need to keep myself and my household safe.
