Target Corp. Boycott Looms as Retailer Targets 2% Sales Growth This Fiscal Year

Target Corporation faces a potential boycott initiated by the American Federation of Teachers, which has 1.8 million members. The boycott stems from dissatisfaction with Target's response to federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, where two citizens were killed. Target's annual sales have declined for three consecutive years, but the company's new CEO has announced plans for a 2% increase in net sales compared to the previous fiscal year. Target is also implementing price cuts on over 3,000 items to attract customers.
