Safeway health plan dispute hits women workers hard
The California grocery strike centers on a plan requiring Safeway employees to pay five dollars weekly for individual coverage or fifteen for family plans. The deal would split workers into pre and post October 5 2003 hires with differing costs and cut the employer funding pool to a third, shifting more cost to workers and risking loss of coverage. The issue underscores the wage and health benefit gap for women in retail, where most workers are female, and highlights union protections as a gauge for national standards. Martha Burk comments as a policy advocate on the broader implications.
