Target's not-so family-friendly policy

Target's not-so family-friendly policy

Tell Target CEO Brian Cornell:

"Live up to your family-friendly brand and be better than Walmart. Expand Target's paid family leave policy to ALL employees to 12 weeks of fully paid leave."

    Target's not-so family-friendly policy

    Erika is one of countless moms who shop at Target, but she's taken up a fight with the corporate giant. 

    She has long been a customer in part because the retail giant is known to have fairer, more humane policies for its hundreds of thousands of employees than its competitor, Walmart. Then, she found out Target only allows employees who just gave birth two weeks of paid leave--a laughable amount of time if it weren't actively cruel--while Walmart just allowed its employees six weeks of parental leave.

    Erika's own six weeks of leave after she gave birth to her son, Oliver, were barely even enough to recover from the C-section she had to have. That's why Erika started a campaign to push Target to provide all its employees--not just the salaried ones--12 weeks of fully paid parental leave. UltraViolet is joining our friends at PL+US: Paid Leave for the United States to help her win her campaign.

    Years ago, UltraViolet members successfully pushed Target to raise its base wage to be better than Walmart's. If tens of thousands make noise about its appalling family leave policy, we can get Target to provide real family leave to hundreds of thousands of people across the country.
