Two years ago, Target (TGT) said it would raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour by the end of 2020. The move won praise from labor advocates and put pressure on other companies to also move to $15.
But some store workers say the wage increases are not helping because their hours are falling, making it difficult to keep their health insurance and in some cases to pay their bills.
CNN Business interviewed 23 current and former Target employees in recent months, including department managers, who say hours have been scaled back even as Target has increased starting wages.
"I got that dollar raise but I'm getting $200 less in my paycheck," said one, Heather, who started in November at a Florida store working around 40 hours a week. She's now below 20 some weeks, she said. "I have no idea how I'm going to pay rent or buy food."

Sounds familiar. Our store did the same thing. I have a small grocery list, so don’t mind, but if you had 2 full carts, that self checkout could be a real bear. You don’t reap any benefits by doing their work.

Boy, if only they still taught economics in school, and it was cool to actually pay attention in class, and oh yeah, you had to pass in order to graduate. Then maybe this wouldn’t be a surprise to the would-be do gooders.
Amen bump!
Well three times is good!!
You know how that happens.
You really can't know anything if you can't tell the difference between chicken sh!t and chicken salad.
And they lost any benefits they had when considered full time employees. They were warned.
Stop listening to propaganda from FBN globalist cheap labor express hacks.
