One more reason not to shop at Walmart

In the last year Walmart has spent nearly $4 billion buying up e-commerce companies with thousands of workers.  

In October many of these employees learned their costs for medical expenses would increase in 2018, in some cases by thousands of dollars.

Perhaps the worst part of Walmart’s reduction in benefits is that it will put pressure on other companies in the e-commerce sector to do the same.

I really hate this company.  I have never shopped there and never will.
