Urge Governor to Sign the "Wal-Mart Accountability" Bill

by California Labor Federation
Assembly Bill 89 (Horton) would begin to hold those corporations
who don't provide healthcare for their workers accountable. The
bill would require the state to collect the names of companies
like Wal-Mart that abuse public programs by forcing taxpayers to
pay for health care for their workers.
Assembly Bill 89 (Horton) would begin to hold those corporations
who don't provide healthcare for their workers accountable. The
bill would require the state to collect the names of companies
like Wal-Mart that abuse public programs by forcing taxpayers to
pay for health care for their workers. This bill is now on the
Governor's desk.

Wal-Mart alone is costing California $32 million for Healthy
Families and Medi-Cal coverage for its employees. It is time to
shame those corporations who can afford to offer healthcare
benefits to their workers, but refuse to and instead force
taxpayers to foot the bill.

Wal-Mart is a big contributor to the Governor and may pressure
him not to sign this legislation. Tell Gov. Schwarzenegger to
stand up to his corporate donors and sign the "Wal-Mart
Accountability" bill! To send a message to the Governor now go
