Target Extends $2-An-Hour Coronavirus Wage Raise
Target CEO Brian Cornell told workers they’re extending its $2-an-hour coronavirus wage increase. According to Business Insider, the increase for store and distribution workers will go through July 4. Cornell said: ”These pay and benefits extensions are intended to help you and your family do just that as we all continue to support each other and move forward.” The announcement comes after Amazon and Kroger received backlash for announcing their wage increase would end in May. Kroger said employees will receive a one-time bonus of $400 for full-time workers and $200 for part-time workers.
