Wal-Mart Stores Wal-Mart
When the Maryland legislature passed a law last week requiring that its largest employers, including Wal-Mart Stores, which at least spend 8 percent of their payrolls on health care, supporters of the measure claimed they had delivered a clear message to corporate America that companies cannot shirk their duty to employees. Maryland's bill, drafted to apply to companies with 10,000 or more employees, actually affects only one company in the state like Wal-Mart Stores, which has come to symbolize corporations that do not provide adequate health benefits to their employees.
