kyburgRemember that grocery worker's strike?
Remember that it hasn't been settled yet?
Remember that the beginning of the year was last week?
What do you think happened to those worker's insurance enrollments?
They disappeared.
And most of them were Kaiser HMO policies.
Jim works for Kaiser.
They didn't lose a few members.
They lost 50,000 of them overnight.
They're sending people home early to cut overhead. Jim has been told to be prepared to have his hours reduced.
And begin working Saturdays to compensate.
There are no words.
Well, nothing I can repeat.
Lighting incense. At least things will smell good.
*grumps*

The ripple effects are going to be very widespread.
I will go into a shopping centre with an Albertsons/Vons/Ralphs in it, but for other stores, and will not go into Albertsons/Vons-Pavillions/Ralphs.
Then again, I've been pretty much a Trader Joe's person for years now.
Much luck to Jim!
