Zellers Workers Fear Target Takeover

A new campaign is being launched on behalf of Zellers workers across the country who could be left out in the cold once Target takes over. 

Kevin Shimmin is with the United Food and Commercial Workers Union and says they're all going to be laid off or terminated, in his words, and even if they are hired by Target, the Zellers workers will be starting from scratch with the loss of their seniority. 

Shimmin says some of these employees have twenty or more years of service at Zellers and should be treated fairly.

The union has launched the Ask Target for Fairness campaign at www.targetfairness.ca
