Retailers from Kroger to Walmart have been tackling one of their expenses, health-care costs, in different ways.
German grocer Lidl will offer medical benefits for all of its 1,200 U.S. part-time employees effective Jan. 2020, the company announced on Tuesday.
The move comes as Whole Foods recently withdrew medical benefits for as many as 1,900 part-time workers starting Jan. 1, 2020. "We want our team to have the peace of mind knowing they have healthcare coverage," said Lidl U.S. Chairman Roman Heini in a statement.
