Please excuse the short diary. I don't diary here often, although I do lurk, comment, recommend, and read, read, read! Right now I am sickened, disheartened, and pretty much outraged over how these CEOs from Papa John's, Denny's, Darden, and Applebee's are behaving about having to extend health insurance to all full time employees. But instead of boycotting, let's make a list of where we should spend our money instead. What companies have been responsible - at least as far as providing benefits are concerned?
My list below the squiggle - not sure if it's accurate, but it's a start. Please add to it in the comments so we can reward the companies that do provide insurance with our business.
Companies that I have heard provide health insurance to full and sometimes to part-time employees:
Starbucks - also cover domestic partners
Panera
Barnes & Noble
Whole Foods
Trader Joe's
Target
Ikea
REI
UPS
Any others?
