Target employees at the Huntington Station, New York location could become the company’s first-ever unionized workers in an upcoming union election next week. The store is located on the north shore of Long Island, about forty minutes outside of New York City. The NLRB approved the election last week and will take place on either September 7th or 8th. The store’s 250 employees will decide whether or not they want to be represented by the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 1500. The company currently has no unionized stores, although has faced elections in the past. Management at Target’s Minneapolis location is protesting the board’s approval of the election, on grounds that a supervisor allegedly participated in the unionization drive.
