Where can you complain to about mistreatment of employess?

My fiancee started working at Target about 2 months ago doing the 4am stock shift. It was going great until one of the managers decided he didnt like him and began harrassing him non stop. He pulled him aside one day to tell him that his peers were laughing at him. He suspended him for wandering around because he brought an empty pallet back to the back room. He is constantly doing similar things and being generally rude and unproffesional but to list them all would take too long. My fiancee has been working hard and has tried everything he can to make this guy happy and can't figure out what he did to deserve this treatment. He is being treated completely unfairly, and this one manager is the only one with a problem. He has tried contacting even the corporate office but just gets the run around. I was under the impression that the better business bureau is only for consumer complaints, is there somewhere that a complaint can be made about an employer?|||I worked in Retail for 18 years. There are definately some jerks who get into management. Assuming this is an entry level job for him he can't be getting paid much why not leave? Life is to short to take on jerks like this. What if Corporate did do something? He will still be left working for the jerk!|||The stores Human Resource Manager.|||Go and see the human resources department. File a harassment claim. Start documenting times and dates of the incidents. Cite who was involved in each one. If no one will listen at his level, he must go to the district level of Target. Make all complaints in writing and send them by registered mail. You must make sure they sign for it.|||better business bureau|||Look for your local governemts labor office.


Speak to them about filing a complaint.|||Go to the labor board.|||A) First issue - this is your bf's problem not yours. You are crossing a boundary. Your function is sympathy, not caretaking.


B) Your bf needs to go head to head w/ the manager and ask what the problem is. From your description, the manager is still in the right. An entry level employee's gf is not the one to make the call on what is unprofessional.


C) Have your fiancee start looking for other work. After the holy day rush is done, he is probably history.|||Your state labor board but I didn't see you mention the state , and different states have different titles for it.|||Contact your shop steward if it is a union job. Be careful though. It seems childish and against everything we were tauht about bullies as kids,but sometimes fixing the problem can burn down some major bridges. Call the big shots at the last last resort





Oh yeah Document absolutely EVERYTHING!
