Shipt a subsidiary of Target added 70,000 new workers following the advent of increased COVID-19 online ordering with sales higher by 300 percent.

During the first week of July, workers in the Minneapolis area in addition to Denver, Chicago, Tampa and Portland were advised of a new pay schedule that was interpreted as reducing earnings.  Accordingly a walk-out took place on Wednesday July 15th in protest. 

It is inconceivable that Shipt would deliberately reduce worker earnings at a time when the service is necessary to the profitability of both Shipt and its parent.  It is possible that the scheme has not been correctly configured or that there is a defect in communication with workers.
