The NY times gives Walmart a fair shake
Weal-mart has been in the news a lot over the last few days. First, the CEO of Weal-mart called for raising the minimum wage, a policy called sometimes an ethical watershed and other times brilliant and self-serving depending on the pundit 's ideology. Just as that was settling down, Wal-Mart leaked an internal memo where they detailed how they could control their health care costs, including discouraging the sick from applying by making physical activity part of nearly every role. But today, the NY times of all places has a nuanced analysis of the paper where they detail the many positive steps they want to take too, like paying more for preventive care, lowering employee prices for healthy foods, and providing a few generic drugs a year.
