Target to raise minimum wage to 11 dollars this year
Target Corp will raise its minimum hourly wage to 11 dollars starting in October and aims to reach 15 dollars by the end of 2020 as Fight for Fifteen pressure grows. The move targets both current staff and the more than 100,000 seasonal hires, with no effect foreseen on earnings forecasts.

Wal-Mart extends holiday hours by boosting existing staff
Wal-Mart will forgo hiring thousands of temporary workers this holiday season and instead assign extra hours to current employees. The plan adds positions like personal shoppers and pickup associates while asking whether workers will be required to take more hours or face penalties for time off. Labor groups question if full-time status and benefits will improve, noting that many part timers seek more hours amid a tight labor market and low unemployment.

United to test bidding system for voluntary seat relinquishment
United Airlines will test a new program letting passengers on overbooked flights bid for compensation to give up seats. The test, new to United but similar to Delta’s approach, follows the April incident in which a passenger was dragged from a United jet. The Chicago carrier will start next month in select markets with bids determining who leaves, aiming to reduce involuntary denials and speed rebooking.
