Citing rising costs, Wal-Mart, the nation?s largest private employer,
told its employees this week that all future part-time employees who
work less than 24 hours a week on average will no longer qualify for
any of the company?s health insurance plans.

In addition, any new employees who average 24 hours to 33 hours a week
will no longer be able to include a spouse as part of their health
care plan, although children can still be covered.

This is a big shift from just a few years ago when Wal-Mart expanded
coverage for employees and their families after facing criticism
because so many of its 1.4 million workers could not afford or did not
qualify for coverage ? rendering many of them eligible for Medicaid.


Sweet. Send your employees to emergency rooms and medicaid so the
taxpayers can cover it. Excellent strategy to bolster net profits for
the company that imports more Communist Chinese goods to America than
any other.

Hey all you wingers, make sure to patronize Walmart cuz they believe
in Jesus.

Here's a tip. Don't work for WalMart if you don't like their benefits.

Too logical for fleabaggers and fleabeggars. To them it is all about
shafting the other guy with their delinquency.

And once again, you right-wing mooks reveal how little you know.

Wal-Mart was embarrassed into providing really modest health care
insurance to its workers a few years ago when it was revealed nationally
that those workers had to go to emergency rooms for medical care because
they couldn't afford insurance on their meager wages.

Remember that for most of its workers, Wal-Mart is the employer of last
resort. It treats its work force no better than Chinese factories treat
theirs. Despite the fact that many of its workers were working full time
and many more were working as many hours as Wal Mart allowed, they had
no health coverage. It was costing taxpayers millions and millions of
dollars so Wal Mart could increase its bottom line.

Now Wal Mart is heading back to the bottom again. Who do you think is
now going to pay for the health care its marginal and marginalized
workers need?

Oh...and a growing number of employers these days have cut way back on
wages and benefits for their workers so the wealthy bosses can have more
in their paychecks, 401ks and bonuses.

Among the reasons they rescinded the meager coverage they had offered,
the continuing high unemployment rate and easy access to new
employees.

Scum.

They work for the Communist Chinese.
