| House Passes Stimulus Bill With COBRA Subsidy | |||||||||||||
| A federal subsidy to help laid-off workers extend their employer health care passed the House on Wednesday, January 28, as part of the $819 billion economic stimulus bill. One item, however, has employers in an uproar. That is a provision making employers responsible for extending health coverage permanently to former employees 55 or older or those who worked for the company for at least 10 years. And unlike the measure to make it cheaper for workers to extend employer health care under the federal law known as COBRA, this provision would be permanent.

| Sprint to Lay off 8,000 by April | |||||||||||||
| Sprint Nextel Corp. has said that it will lay off about 8,000 workers by April within "all levels" of the company. The reductions should reduce labor costs by $1.2 billion, the company said. About 850 of the layoffs are expected to be eliminated through a voluntary separation plan begun last year. The company employs a total of 56,000 workers. CEO Dan Hesse said the reductions were necessary, even though the carrier has made improvements in customer service that have resulted in higher satisfaction ratings in customer surveys. Head-count reductions in customer-care functions will be less than those in groups that don't interact with customers, he added. [Source: Computerworld] | |||||||||||||
