Repost of My Analysis of Target's Anti-Union Video

by David Doorey March 7, 2013
written by David Doorey March 7, 2013

I heard on the radio yesterday that Target has officially arrived in Canada!!!
targetThat means they have hired retail employees, I assume.  In celebration of this event, I’d like to repost something I published some time ago.  In this post, I link to an American anti-union video Target forced upon new employees.  I then gave my own colour commentary of whether the claims made are true and legal in the Canadian context.
I’m not sure if Target is forcing employees to watch videos like this in Canada, so I’m not saying this is happening here.  If it is, I’m sure we will hear about it soon enough.
Here is my earlier post from June 2011.

Looks great!

I took an international labor law course at LSE/Kings College taught by Keith Ewing, Brian Bercusson, Aileen McColgan, and Paul Davies.

Incredible course. And so important.

Desiree LeClercq@LeclercqDesiree

Excited to teach my new #internationallaborlaw course critically considering how labor rights are designed & enforced. The class balances decolonial theory w/ practical experiences. My syllabus (with names redacted) below. 1/

Remembering time I spoke at @SteelworkersCA conference. I joined International President Leo Gerard on an elevated platform stage.

Back leg of chair was off back of stage. Sat down and fell backyards off stage until Leo caught me, pulled me back up, muttering “fucking lawyers”

Yes I’m sure they would like to repeal human rights legislation but enact a new Freedom Protection Act that protects ‘rights’ they want, like anti-vaxer rights.

Sean O'Donnell@SJOLegal

@TheLawofWork Given that the Ford Government has stymied the HRTO for years, I don't think this crowd will see any joy through that avenue.
