Stop the Wal-Mart Health Care Crisis
Target: Your State GovernorSponsored by: WakeUpWalMart.com
At the end of 2005, Wal-Mart ranked #2 on the Fortune 500 with sales of
$312 billion and net profits of $11.2 billion, and was America's largest employer with 1.39 million workers. Despite obscene profits, Wal-Mart fails to provide company health care to over 775,000 of its employees (57%), leaving nearly 1 out of every 2 children of its workers either uninsured or on public assistance at an annual cost to taxpayers of $1.4 billion.
Wal-Mart ranks #1, among all companies in America, with the highest total number of employees without company health care insurance and is the #1 abuser of taxpayer funded public health care in 18 of the 19 states where statewide data has been reported.
It's time to stop the Wal-Mart health care crisis and make our nation's largest employer pay its fair share for health care. You have the power to stop corporate abuse, hold Wal-Mart accountable and improve health care for millions of workers by sending a letter to your state's Governor.
Help change Wal-Mart and build a better America.

The situation with Debbie Shank is a travesty. It takes a group of people with no heart whatsoever to take away the last vestiges of dignaty to one who worked for you. At a minimum Wal-Mart could make a deal to satiscfy the contract by taking the money and then returning it to the woman. Please show some humanity.

Wal-Mart pay your share of insurance for your employees. Your lack of benefits and court cases in the media has hurt your reputation. How about taking some of your marketing money and repair your image by protecting your employees??

Walmart is a disgrace for treating its employers unfairly and not having benefits available. Walmart does this on purpose, Walmart is nothing but a big rip off for America.
