Retail Lobby Criticizes Wal-Mart On Health Care
National Retail Federation President and CEO Tracy Mullin sent an open letter on July 13 to its members condemning Wal-Mart for its decision two weeks ago to embrace an employer mandate as a part of health care reform.
"We knew going up against Wal-Mart would raise some eyebrows - and it did," Mullin writes in the letter. "But, simply put, we could not condone the decision of one retailer, even the largest retailer in the world, if it would come at the expense of everyone else. So, we spoke up."
Mullin goes on to say that it is imperative that businesses, associations and politicians "not shy away from deal-breakers like employer mandates."

An open letter from Tracy Mullin about Wal-Mart and employer mandates for health care.pdfWal-Mart is not a member of the NRF, which traditionally has represented department store companies like Macy's and JCPenney's.
On June 30, Wal-Mart, along with the Service Employees International Union and the Center for American Progress, sent a letter to President Obama supporting the employer mandate, requiring businesses to provide health care coverage to their employees. The move, which marked an unlikely alliance between the retail giant and two liberal groups surprised much of Washington's business community lobby which has been unanimously opposed to an employer mandate.
The National Retail Federation and the Retail Industry Leaders Association (of which Wal-Mart is a member) called off their merger plans, just six days before that letter to the White House. Mullin had planned to retire after the merger, but has since put off those plans.

Retail Lobby must really criticize Wal-mart on their health care. They must give their employees proper health care benefits because they are the ones that are working hard to keep their business going.

Things turn out to be so controversial sometimes for us, citizens, that we get confused concerning where health care is leading to in the future. Stress is all over us, life has transformed in this hectic chase after supplies, people forget about what they feel, where are heading to and what are their hopes and their expectations. Small problems concerning life balance find their ease in remedies, nymphomax, vacations, therapy. But on a large scale, things tend to be even more complicated.
