As of now there are seven states that have bills pending in the legislature that would require that wal-mart re-pay the tax incentives they were given by communities in those states affected; by increasing the health care benefits offered to their employees. Evidently the local health care delivery systems are overwhelmed by the large amount of wal-mart employees that require free care due to lack of medical coverage.
I looked at what the wal-mart benefit pakage is. They pay 128$ a month out of a minimum wage salary and for this they have no drug or dental coverage and they have a one thousand dollar deductible per family with maximum coverage levels of less than 12k per yr. For normal care. No well baby care or preventative care included.
Bring our troops back from Iraq and attack the terrorists in wal-marts management.
Hey Sam; whereever you are; I hear the drumbeat of union organising.
You have to wonder; if management doesn't want something in their company that bad, it must be really good for the employees.
