(emphasis mine):<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Pension funds tied to members of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) directly own approximately 6.79 million shares of Target stock, alongside <strong>billions<\/strong> more in indirect exposure through index funds.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If I were a member of the AFT, I\u2019d want to sue Ms. Weingarten for violating her fiduciary duty to me as a pension holder.\u00a0 Aside from being an insane reason to boycott, it\u2019s insane to do it when your own holdings will suffer!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>M.
