MINNEAPOLIS - More than 200 protesters swarmed the headquarters of Target Corporation in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

Members of TakeAction Minnesota are pushing for changes in employment screening so it will be easier for people with minor criminal records to get a job.

The protesters want Target to adopt the changes and set an example for other corporations. Target executives say they'll meet with the group on May 29th.
