Why this petition matters

Started by alexa coronado

Due to COVID-19, all non essential businesses around the country are currently being shut down. Due to such a high demand in cleaning supplies, grocery items, personal care items such as toilet paper and so on, Target is one of the largest chains being hit hard with sales at this time.

While it is wonderful that Target has issued a statement saying they will offer 2 weeks of normal pay if an employee is to come down with coronavirus or be placed under mandatory quarantine, since employees have no choice but to remain working at this time I believe Target can do better.

Target employees are picking up shifts and taking on a much larger workload in a both stressful and compromised environment due to being around the general public and possibly risking exposure to the virus. These risks more than warrant and increased hazard pay. I am urging Target CEO Brian Cornell to meet these needs. Please sign this petition and repost and forward to your friends so we can show Brian Cornell that we deserve better.
