Target Corporation, often called Target, is an American retailing company headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is the second-largest discount retailer in the United States, behind Walmart. The company is ranked at number 30 on the Fortune 500 and is a component of the Standard & Poor's 500 index. Its bullseye trademark is licensed to Wesfarmers, owners of the separate Target Australia chain.

The company was founded in 1902 as the Dayton Dry Goods Company, though its first Target store was opened in 1962 in nearby Roseville, Minnesota. Target grew and eventually became the largest division of Dayton Hudson Corporation, culminating in the company being renamed as Target Corporation in August 1990. On January 13, 2011, Target announced its expansion into Canada. Target will operate 100 to 150 stores in Canada by 2013, through its purchase of leaseholds from the Canadian chain Zellers.

Target Corporation Video

All new Target employees are forced to watch this video so that they are indoctrinated into fearing unions. It's filled with misrepresentations, deceptions, and even outright lies, because Target knows that its employees desperately need a union. If you're a Target employee, please don't be deceived by your bosses. Target Corporation made over 2.9 billion dollars last year. You deserve better wages, benefits, and working conditions, and your employer can afford to give them to you. If you want to learn more about your rights and are interested in organizing, please contact the Industrial Workers of the World, a union for all workers that can help empower you on the job: www.iww.org Don't trust the boss. Organize and get what's yours.
