Friends,
I just signed a petition at SumofUs.org telling Target to pay its debts. I think you'd like to sign it as well. You can sign by visiting this link: http://action.sumofus.org/a/target-debt/?sub=taf
Earlier this month, we learned that Target’s Canadian experiment has failed. But we didn't know how badly. Apart from the 17,600 minimum-wage workers now out of a job, it turns out the American big box megacorp owes cities, suppliers and landlords over $5 billion. It's one of the biggest corporate bankruptcies in Canadian history.
Of course, that didn't stop Target from paying its incompetent CEO Gregg Steinhafel -- the man responsible for Target’s massive failure in Canada -- a severance and benefit package worth $75.6 million -- more than the severance for all 17,600 low-wage workers combined.
Let's not allow a mega corporation to push its experiments at the cost of workers, taxpayers and companies!
Here's that link again -- please sign and share the petition:

Thank you,
