After Losing Vote, Union Vows to Try Again at Target

By STEVEN GREENHOUSE

Even as the nation’s main union for retail workers acknowledged that it lost a unionization vote on Friday at a Target store in Valley Stream, N.Y., it demanded a new election and accused the company of illegally intimidating workers.

The National Labor Relations Board announced on Saturday morning that 137 workers had voted against joining the union, the United Food and Commercial Workers, while 85 workers had voted for it. The unionization drive sought to make the store on Long Island the first of Target’s 1,750 stores in the United States to be unionized.
