Obama is loving it, Make full time employees part time and Depend on government. Quoting: sonic doom And cut the "unemployment rate" in half. After all, they will have jobs. Liberals need to keep people poor because otherwise they have no base. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy |

As posters have stated above, this has been going on regardless of Obamacare, corporations will use any excuse not the pay people more. Also, hate to burst your Con bubbles, but the full law doesn't go into effect until January 2014! Right now only the high risk pools, medical loss ratio rule, children not being denids due to preexisting conditions and the medicare donut hole are the only parts of the law that are in place now. And of course the massive crack down on Medicare and Medicaid fraud that this week led to several arrest and exposure of more than $431 million dollars in fraud. Dudes, don't bother to actualy research what the law is doing now as opposed to when it is fully implemented in 2014! |

I worked in about 15 different restaurants over the course of many years and the only people who get over 20-25 hours a week are the managers and some of the cooks. The servers, bussers, and hosts (read: majority of the staff) are part-time. Working 40 hours a week as any of those positions is an impossibility for anything more than a few months. |
