Jerry Newman, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Organizations and Human Resources, is quoted in a Wall Street Journal article about how McDonald's is considering dropping its health plan due to new regulations. "The packages maybe could be better, but for a start, they're quite good," he said. "For those who didn't have health insurance through their spouse, it was a lifesaver." Newman worked undercover at McDonald's to write "My Secret Life on the McJob." CBS Radio and KMOX news radio (St. Louis) also interviewed Newman.
