Hours for workers in retail are notoriously unpredictable and often depend on the season or how well stores are performing. “I have no idea how I’m going to pay rent or buy food.” “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. CNN Business agreed to withhold the last names of several of the current employees and the city where their store is located so they could speak freely.
Many of these workers say the cuts, which come as Target’s business is in its strongest position in more than a decade, have hurt them financially. The move won praise from labor advocates and put pressure on other companies to also move to $15.īut 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.ĬNN 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. (TGT) said it would raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour by the end of 2020.
