The move will affect about 30,000 Wal-Mart employees who work fewer than 30 hours a week. The loss of coverage will be a large cut in compensation for the workers, who were previously getting more than 75% of their premiums paid by Wal-Mart and will now be responsible for the costs unless they qualify for government or other subsidies

6. Another reason to not shop Walmart

Do you really want to go to a place where you are exposed to sick employees who are desparate to work so they can get paid?

You can go to Walmart and be exposed to the flu, tb or other virus. I'll pass. This will blow up in walmart's face their earnings have taken hits in the last couple of quarters. Please proceed Walmart.

7. Walmart sucks

Of course everyone here knows that already or should anyway.
Never do you read a story where walmart is doing good by their employees. They just don't do good simple as that
