I'm no fan of Wal Mart but would like to know how "Walmart screws their
employees out of benefits."

It's my understanding that the benefits are so expensive that the low
wage workers can't afford them (only management can).. So the
cashier/stockers can't afford benefits.

If the worker pays for it out of pocket then it's not "benefits".


Sure they are. If you get employee health insurance at work for, say $50
a month, yet the insurance company is charging the employer $300 a month
for it, what do you call the $250 picked up by the company?

Or even if the company is only paying $50 and the employee is paying $250,
it's still a benefit. Heck, the employer could not pay anything and it could
still be a benefit if the employer size allows the employees to get
discounted rates.
