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.
I thought Obama care was going to fix all if this. Don't they have to
provide coverage now? 2014?
I don't know.
I do know Obama care was going to raise costs and this is the excuse
Walmart cites.
They're low-wage employers. Getting the cheapest crap to sell at the
highest margin using cheap labor is their business model.
But you love it. No one is going to pay $1000 for a union NA hammer.
Oh wait, government will, but not you or I.
They're retailers for the Communist Chinese. It's nice that China has
rising wages and rapidly expanding infrastructure. And the Heartland
of America is funding it.
Yep, wealth moves to those that can produce stuff other than pure
bull****, debt and excessive costs.
Meanwhile, Walmart doesn't give a **** if its employees have to go to
emergency rooms and medicare, cuz the tab gets picked up by Mr. and
Mrs. America.
Excellent.
Oh they do, it affects productivity.
Nothing to stop you from paying someone else's health care if you really
care so much. Fact is no skills, you want a job it isn't going to pay
much. Fleabaggers can ignore the equity of economics, but that doesn't
mean the fleabaggers can escape reality. Too many fleabaggers need to
learn where their real social station is in life.
The lesson will be harsh until they smarten up.
