"Fiddelke, who officially took the reins of the struggling retailer on Sunday, laid out in a note on LinkedIn and on Target's website on Monday what his priorities are as he takes over. They include restoring Target's leadership in cheap-chic merchandise, making its stores and website easier and more pleasant to use, more fully leveraging tech to improve customer experience and operations, and "strengthening" employees and "growing alongside the communities" where Target runs its stores."
"Demonstrations have recently taken place at about two dozen Target stores in Minnesota as well as in other cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and New York. On Sunday, the American Federation of Teachers, which says its members own nearly 7 million shares via the pension funds in which they participate, called for Target to speak out against ICE. And on Monday, protesters at Target headquarters in Minneapolis demanded that the company take a stronger position against ICE."
Michael Fiddelke assumed the role of Target CEO and set priorities to restore cheap-chic leadership, simplify stores and the website, leverage technology, and strengthen employees while growing with communities. Demonstrations have occurred at roughly two dozen Minnesota stores and at locations in Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and New York in response to immigration raids. The American Federation of Teachers urged Target to speak out against ICE, and protesters at the Minneapolis headquarters demanded a stronger company stance. Target emphasized employee safety and joined a 60-company Minnesota Chamber message calling for an immediate deescalation of tensions. Corporate America has been more reluctant to directly criticize the U.S. government than in 2020.
