>>Starting pay at Wal-Mart's other stores surrounding Chicago is several dollars less per hour than the $10 proposed. Moreover, new clerks at Wal-Mart must wait six months before receiving health insurance, Bisio said.<<

As far as I know, a lot of private companies and state governments also have 6-month probation period before ANY health care benefit kicks in. So there is NO use to complain just about Walmart.
