CHICAGO (Reuters) - A group of pharmacy workers within Target Corp's store in Brooklyn, New York have won a vote to form a microunion within the store, according to a filing on the National Labor Relations Board's website and union officials.
The group of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians won an initial ballot 7-2 in favor of forming the union, the filing showed.
The National Labor Relations Board in 2011 ruled that so-called micro unions are appropriate when their members share "a community of interest."
That decision was upheld by a U.S. appeals court, spurring the board in 2014 to extend the standard to retail stores in a case involving fragrance and cosmetic department workers at Macy's Inc.
Target did not immediately respond to requests seeking comment.
