"AFFORDABLE CARE ACT Changing the Game for Ordinary AMERICANS"

Affordable Care Act

To put things in proper perspective, some Political Representatives are afraid that the "affordable Care Act Obama Care" will work and make Americans healthy over time then insurance companies will no longer be able to exploit them raising rates at will while unable to drop people with pre-existing conditions.

Americans with the ACA or "Obama Care" will have a choice and no longer have to stay in dead end low paying Jobs like Walmart Stores and other employers who see their underpaid workers as their way to maintaining wealth.

Americans with aspirations and goals can now pursue then knowing that their health insurance will always be there for them and no longer threatened by a loss of employment, a peace of mind never enjoyed by American's before. Middle aged Americans with skills and Training who have been cut out of the Economy by technology and business consolidation and end up working at low paying Jobs like a Greeter at "Walmart Stores" for $8.75per hour to maintain, "Junk Health Insurance" now have a choice. By purchasing health Insurance through "Obama Care, the Affordable Care Act" these American's can now move on and pursue other dreams like starting their own new business taking risks and helping a always grateful Nation. .

Would you believe that this is what all this fuss is all about, "Americans having health Care no one can take away from them"? The Affordable Care Act is changing the Game for ordinary Americans putting them in the drivers seat and "Corporate America" is scared.

"Target Closes Store to Kill Union Action"

Target Violated Federal Labor Law

While the Nation await the final ruling of the Federal Judge at the National Labor Relations Board Target elect to close the Valley Stream Target Store that is in dispute. Target operates over 1400 Stores in the United States and is in the process of claiming international Retail Market Share with its purchase of over 100 Zellers Store's in Canada.

The Canadians at Zellers  who follow the developments through Targetchangeny.com a community website set up by United Food and commercial Workers International Union  to highlight plight of the workers at the Target Valley Stream Store and Target corporation in general.

One of the things Zeller's workers should be fore warned is that nothing should be taken for granted and do not believe your government the Union or most of all Target Corporation.Get real legal representation, do not allow Target to make promises they will not over time keep. Target will lie to you, get your trust and then take the rug from under your feet.

Ten months ago Target ensured the workers at the Target valley stream store that under no circumstances would the Corporation close the Store and today the valley stream Target Store is Closed and the workers who participated in trying to have Union Representation have been fired by Target. These actions were not taken by Target in a vacuum, this is retaliation they were done to send the clear message to Target workers that anyone who even attempt to seek legal representation will be dealt with ferociously by Target Corporation.

Corporations like Target are now insulated from Government actions even the Federal Court as seen in this action by Target. The matter of the Valley Stream Target Store is Still before the National Labor  Relations Board a federal Court and Target upended the Courts decision and close the store. There was testimony before the Court by Target Corporation that the Company had no intention to close the Store. Target operates over 1400 Stores ac cross the United States and over the past 3 years the Target Corporation have expanded or improved about 50% of those Stores to accommodate its new Pfresh  expansion.

Target is now using Pfresh expansion as a justification for the closure of the Target Valley Stream Store. In testimony before the National Labor  Relations Board Target failed to disclose their intention to close the Valley Stream Store. On April 29th when the Valley Stream Store was Closed Target still did not have the relevant Building Permits to start the expansion they claim they intend to do. Target does not operate like that, this is an efficient company and would not close a store for expansion without relevant Building Permits in hand."The Valley Stream Target Store was closed to bring the death Nail of the Union action to an end and send a message to Target workers we will do whatever it takes to keep Unions out of our Stores" a pledge that Target has always held dear.

The Valley Stream Target Store Gross over $2,000,000 million Dollars in weekly Sales Target Corporation is willing to Sacrifice those sales to Break the Union action and they have done that by closing the Store. The action of Target is representative of the other retailers like Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's and all the other Big and small retailers who decides, "the rights that workers have is what they the Corporations allow them".

13 Long Days To Go!

Target Stores now In Canada


This is the Lucky thirteen (13)for the Team Members of Valley Stream Target Store because thirteen days from Today Deliverance will come. The Team will Vote to have Union representation in their Target Store.


The Team have held together under severe pressure from Target Valley Stream and Target Corporation. Target used all the tools they have to intimidate the Team members and dicourage the Team their legitimate Right to seek Union Representation. That has not worked.

The methods Target Valley Stream used only created further hostility and has pushed Team Members who were on the fencw to become definate supporters of the Labor action. Target went as far as to Threaten that they close the Valley Stream Store if the Team Members Vote to have Union Representation. TARGET KNOWS IF THEY CLOSE THE VALLEY STREAM STORE BECAUSE OF UNION ACTION THEY WILL HAVE TO CLOSE ALL THEIR STORES IN NEW YORK the Team knows that Target was giving them the BULLS.

The Team continue to seek the support of everyone, keep the pressure up this is a courageous group of Workers fighting for decent and liveable hourly wage, to be paid for extra for working on Holidays, paid Vacation not after working 1000 hours as is the current Practice by Target.

Keep the pressure on Target Corporation encourage the Team, this is a Long thirteen Days. Visit the website targetghange.com post your support.

This Action will not only Change Target Valley Stream but will bring Change to all Target Stores and Target Corporation.

The Team Stand UP

Team Huddle at a Target Store

After years of low wages and a meaningless Job opportunity the Team at the Valley Stream Target Store will Vote on JUNE 17TH to have Union representation.This is unprecedented for Target Corporation who have been under the radar and presenting themselves as a great place to work.

Of course Target do hire and train the best they can hire at minimum wage, the Team respond under duress to provide the best environment for the guest who visit their these well kept Stores.

It is difficult to complain about the quality of service in these Target Stores when you can find a Team member.Target must realise that 4-16 hours a week at minimum wage cannot feed a family or help their hard working Team members who attend college.

Team members must be paid holiday wage when when required to work on these important Retail Sales days, Team members must be paid a reasonable wage for work,Team Members will not be denied benefits by suppression of the number of hours they work while their availability is being suppressed by Target.

The Team Members at the Valley Stream Target Store will have a Union as of June 17th, this is a courageous Team and they will WIN!
