Target is “conceding to the hysteria,” says worker-advocacy group Target Workers Unite.
Amid Target’s decision to pull Pride-themed products from some stores after intense anti-LGBTQ backlash, many of its employees believe the company has caved to a bad-faith campaign in order to salvage sales, according to the worker-advocacy group Target Workers Unite.
Target TGT has been offering a range of Pride-related products in the run up to June’s Pride Month. However, the chain has removed some LGBTQ-themed products and hidden Pride Month displays in certain Southern locations following online complaints and in-store confrontations that the company says placed employees at risk, the Associated Press reports.“A lot of workers think that Target doesn’t have a spine,” said Adam Ryan, who works at a Target in Christiansburg, Va.
In a statement provided to MarketWatch earlier this week, a Target spokesperson said the company had “experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being while at work” since introducing this year’s Pride collection.
