The Brooklyn body of the National Labor Relations Board has gathered more evidence that Target intimidated workers by threatening to close a store if a union was approved in a vote this summer.

The new charges could be enough evidence for an administrative law judge to recommend that the election results be overturned, Alvin Blyer of the regional NLRB told the Minnesota Independent.

The union lost the June election at Valley Stream, N.Y., 137-85, but has filed a number of objections with the NLRB for intimidation and illegal firing of a union supporter, according to the National Labor Relations Board.

The NLRB has already filed one complaint of its investigation of Target. Blyer told the Minnesota Independent that the regional NLRB would likely file a second complaint documenting the agency’s findings next week.

As it is, I'm just boycotting Target.
