Wal-Mart mulls health coverage for small businesses

That why it  committed itself to hiring discharged veterans they will get around it . the vets would already have coverage ,avoid extra expenses for preexisting conditions they would be covered by the VA

So in hine sight the out veterans would be committed to selling communist manufactured merchandise

If W/M started offering health care plans, W/M would then have to offer health care to it's employees thus cutting into it's shareholder profit margins.W/M is not realy to blame here for it's abismal treatment of it's part time staff and ,the Company only does what it legaly is alowed to do by current State labor laws, if you look how W/M staff are treated in Germany (Europe) it is a complete 180 from how they are treated in the USA with health care, paid sick days, paid vacation and other benefits, all mandated by German labor laws and W/M has to comply and they still manage to make a profit. Current Labor laws in the USA are Dickinson by comparison and it is the nature of major  retail, food service and manufacturing business, especially those without any union involvement, to not do the right thing to play and pay fairly but use the labor laws to their own maximum advantage by paying minimum wages, giving minimum breaks and working all the small print to their benefit and not to benefit  the worker as was the original intention when there were no set working hours before breaks or any breaks at all, or minimum working hours for a work week. These laws were fine when they were first instituted but they have been ignored and left unread for so long as to be almost meaningless to employees although they're posted in every (or should be by law) staff room and now these labor laws work against them. It's these current labor laws that allow W/M and other workers to be treated like they are worthless disposable items rather then people trying toearn enough money to just to get by, let alone even make a living. I am far from being a socialist. I believe in capitalism, but money is like manure, it's only good if it's spread it around...... greed is greed and greed is killing capitalism in this country.The more people with real money to spend ( not credit) the better off the people will be. Then we won't have to go to W/M for health care or worry about the Banks and Wall st  gambling our pensions and the economy away

Everytime I read complaints about Walmart having unfair wages and not providing insurance for their employees and such all I can do is shake my head. I work for a very popular retail store which is in the fortune 500 and guess what- Walmart employees as a whole are actually paid more then the average salary my company pays. We have the option of opting in to sub-standard health/dental care plans at a cost that sometimes exceeds our paychecks due to the lack of work hours given (and do read the fine lines of the health/dental care coverage you are actually offered to opt in to as you will find most likely at the time you need the services the most that alot of basic services are not even covered under the plans you are paying for out-of-pocket/payche​ck).That being said,  I don't understand why people are constantly pointing the fingers at Walmart while knowing from experience that there are other well known and respected companies that do not pay their employees past the minimum wage standard either.

 ...and if it's the goods from China being sold at Walmart that seem to be offending people - spend a day shopping at different stores and see how many items you can buy anywhere that are American made- I found zero in 2 hours worth of time shuffling through everything from socks to coats to pajamas in several different stores.  It won't take any time at all once you start opening your eyes to realize that products from even well-established and trusted companies such as Hanes or Levis are no longer made in the good old USA. Wake up people- until we start finding solutions to bring our businesses and jobs back to America there will be nothing made in the USA- this is not just a problem centering around Walmart.....it's everywhere.

Every business/company that moves their manufacturing to another country tears this country down and the fabric that made us once so great down bit by bit until one day we will be one of the third world countries dependant on every other country for everything from the fuel we need for heat and transportation, to the clothing/shoes we wear, to the food we eat and the only people that will be standing tall will be the greedy corporate/ 1% that turned their backs on the very country that made them what they are...and also what they are becomming.
