There are 4 companies in MD. They were all listed in the article you posted originally.
Wal-Mart, Johns Hopkins, Northrop Grumman, Giant Food Wal-mart was the only company that fell below the 8% mark. John Hopkins and Northrop Grumman make sense, it is very important that their employees are able to work, as they are not unskilled labor. Giant Food I'm sure uses that as a major benefit of working there over a company like Wal-mart. Of course, it looks like the corporate offices for Giant Food are in MD, so that would make sense that in that location they spend at least 8%. Something else I find funny. Wal-mart pays less for everything, isn't it reasonable to assume they would pay less for health insurance because of their demand? > -----Original Message----- > From: dana tierney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 3:50 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: [signs of sanity] MD no longer subsidizing Walmart > > see, I have no problem with that as long as it applies to all companies > above the threshold.
