The elusive issue in this complex strike is not wages or hours or working conditions. It is heath care benefits. The supermarkets, girding for price wars with Wal-Mart, want employees to shoulder a greater share of the cost; employees, noting Wal-Mart's paltry benefit package, fear they will end up paying virtually all of the cost of their health care." (CALIFORNIA STRIKE) This article reveals that the outcome of the California strike "is of keen interest to a myriad of employers and unions, and to the entire health care industry--both in California and elsewhere--because any settlement could set a standard for other disputes over health care benefits" and "could dramatically stress an already overburdened public health care delivery system."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
