DRM | Do you think Wal-Mart should give their employees Healthcare? |
Wal-Mart is one of the biggest employers in the US. With 11 million employees and only 5% having health care that leaves 10,450,000 people that our taxes pay health care for. Will one half percent raise in price of items Break your bank? |

They should have more of a break. I was a part-time associate for six years, often working full-time hours. I made too much money to get the Oregon Health plan, but not enough money to afford to use their healthcare options, and when the year came around my hours were cut so low I couldn't even apply, or my check would have been -$0.00. And I was supporting 3 children alone! I'm really pissed off about all that because...I literally had to get myself FIRED last year, because of all my pain which I could not afford to go to a doctor for. Wal Mart would NOT lower my hours, and there was no way I could take it-standing for 8 hours-when my leg/hip/thigh & stomach was killing me. I'd have to smile and say 'hi how are you?' when the pain was killing me. There at the end I could barely make it to the back to clock out. I would stand there in the middle of Wal Mart and CRY, because I couldn't take another step, the pain was so bad.
So, now that I had no job, I suddenly qualified for the Oregon Health Plan, which I had for only six months, because I got married~They only figured out some of my stomach problems, and nothing to do with my right leg in all that time~which is probably due to working there, cashiering for six years straight & all the registers facing the same direction!
It's really screwed up though, and they SHOULD make it possible to afford healthcare as a single parent, and not screw with your hours so that you can't afford it-it's crazy.
So, you can see I'm all for the half percent raise! |

yes, i think they should, they should take care of their employees, i think it is wrong not to, they dont make much money to take care of a family, and healthcare should be number one on their perk list. |

Every company should offer their employees healthcare |

Walmart is making millions from consumers of all income levels yet the management level is probably the only one with college graduates actually working in their chosen field. So how about the millions of college grads working the checkouts, or as stockers? How about the other employees who live paycheck to paycheck?
There are so many good companies whose quarterly estimates are normally lower than Walmart posts yet they still provide health care and other benefits to their employees. Obviously a boycott of Walmart won't have any long term effect and because they have forced so many smaller stores out of existence there isn't a choice in some areas but to patronize Wallyworld.
I think that it is time for Walmart to step up and do what is right for all of their employees. The wage they pay the average worker certainly does not allow for health care premiums on the open market. What about it WALMART? Can you advertise good benefits for employees as well as you advertise your wares? Everyone knows where Walmart is in their area, what they sell and the average price of the items they normally buy. So spend less on advertising, because the consumers are going to shop in your store anyhow, and spend it on employees' benefits. |

YES!!
And it should be affordable, and available to all employees who work enough hours to get benefits. Also, it should be a good program, including coverage for prescriptions, dental, vision, hospitalizations, and routine check-ups.
As for breaking my bank, it won't affect me. I stopped shopping at Wal-Mart more than a year ago in protest of the way they treat their employees. My personal little boycott doesn't hurt them, but I spread the news around about them wherever I go, and I encourage people to pay a few pennies more and shop at an alternate store where the employees are treated like an asset, rather than a throw-away resource. It's funny how a little education about what Wal-Mart is doing is enough to cause people to rethink their buying. If Wal-Mart is the only place I can get something, I do without it, and I am slowly spreading that idea to those with whom I come in contact. Until Wal-Mart starts doing right by their people (healthcare is just one of the places where they are not paying attention to the needs of their employees), they don't get another penny of my money. |

Wal-mart is stingy. I don't shop there because of this. |
