It's been more than six months since I have last posted on this blog, and guys - it's time to get back to business !
Here's a link to an interesting article about WalMart and the last changes concerning health insurance provided for employees. I must say I am happy to read these news. For the last
few months I've been doing my outmost not to shop there because I was concerned about
rumors regarding exploitation of employees there. However, the last part of this article
still worries me... :
"Unions contend the company’s benefits are too stingy, forcing taxpayers to pick up more of the cost as the workers lacking coverage turn to the government.
“This is what’s so cruel: They’re basically expanding health care coverage to workers who can’t afford it because their pay is so poor and the health care deductibles and premiums are so high,” said Chris Kofinis, spokesman for WakeUpWalMart.com, a group funded by the United Food and Commercial Workers union.
