Business about to implement 30 HOUR Work Week...TO COMBAT OBAMACARE LAW

Many workers would welcome this.

Less hours, means less time needed to pay for day care and after school care. Parents could spend more time with their kids, something that is badly needed for everyone's good. We all need to pay more attention to our children's upbringing (not sticking them in daycare all the time for the sake of our jobs.)

We could have time to garden, so need to buy less food.

We could have more time to spend on a hobby that might bring in more income that their slave wages.

What is there to spend money on anymore, anyway? Most stuff is junk. We've been there, done that on having stuff, and maybe having time would be better.

Workers or not, one thing is certain--you better take care of your health, eat right, meditate, exercise. Health care costs are the one thing you must avoid if you want to get along happily without much money.

So more time, less stress might be a good thing. In my humble opinion.

My wife got the word about a month ago at walmart

This is not new, employers don't want to pay for healthcare or any other benefits.

A 30 hour work week would be awesome. And obamascare would be DOA.

Only the STUPID ones like yourself would welcome it.

You live in la-la land. Housing, utilities, clothing, food, etc. are all going UP. Wages are NOT.

Not everyone is in a position to grow their own food. Some live in desert areas or in snowy regions.

This was the plan all along and STILL is the plan. This country is being remade to look like Denmark: 84% tax rate, cradle-to-grave socialism, ride a BICYCLE to work, STRICT enforcement of small family policy to rival commie China's, and only part-time work (like driving a garbage truck) that is assigned to you by the feds. Oh, and PLENTY of free time. Everyone is BORED out of their skulls, so they DRINK! Alcoholism rates are through the roof.

You can have it!

They should cut health care costs by 3/4 then it would work.

You folks understand, that even though you work only 30 hours and your employer doesn't have to pay....YOU are still mandated to BUY health insurance or face an IRS fine.

You understand that right?

So the employer can opt out by cutting your hours. But YOU cannot opt out of buying the insurance or paying the fine.

Yeah...that's gonna be awesome!

To give you an example of what
is at stake and what it costs.

Papa John's CEO says it would
cost an extra 11 cents per pizza
to provide everyone in the company
with healthcare.

11 cents.

Jesus has to hate these business
owners.

No it would not.
Not at all.

they're learning something from walmart

Exactly.

Also they will group together part time workers and so many will equal one full time worker. This rule will push many small businesses over the 50 employee mark. Though I could switch some of my employees to part time to get under but my tax guy said not so fast. He also said many business owners were going to take the penalty since it will be less money.

So we're France now. That's just great. Thank you Berry.

Tell him to up pizza a quarter if he will provide dental

I own a small business and could never do this to my guys. They are all guaranteed 40 hours a week. Right now the only benefit I can afford to give is a week's paid vacation and a great dental plan where I pay 100% of all non-cosmetic work. I will find a way to provide them health care. However, between health care, gas prices, taxes, and insurance...I can't be squeezed much more. My prices will have to go up or I'll be out of business.

Meanwhile corps are making record profits and sitting on trillions in cash.

They have already cut wages and benefits and productivity is up.

But 11cents per pizza is out of the question.

LMAO, slaves whining because they wil be spending less of their time being slaves. Gotta love sheeple

Employers will just fire their employees and rehire them as "contractors". Make them pay their own taxes ect. Then the employer wont be responcible for their health insurance.

Yeah, but when does all the increasing in overhead stop? 11 cents this year, 16 cents next year, and 2 dollars a decade from now. There's been a noose around every business since I've been alive and they just keep tightening it more and more.

Plus TPTB will see "oh hey papa john's can afford to pay another 11 cents per pizza to the system, what else can we implement to get more money?" Seriously what's next? An air tax is probably not even out of the question for the future.

It's all bullshit and everyone plays their game. Back in the early days, they used to tar and feather people over the slightest tax increases. Nowadays, people are too scared to do anything.

Cheap chiseling bastards. But everyone blames Obama and Obama only.

Backlash already started against cheap bastard Papa John Pizza.

I would happily pay more for a pizza and already do when I tip $3 for delivery.

It is also dependent upon which state you live in. For example 30 hours is considered full-time in Cali.

Pappa johns should not pass on the cost to the customer, they are rolling in dough, pardon the pun.

They shouldn't want their employees bleeding out of their orifices over the pizza.

Use common sense people.

Corporations are too fuckin cheap to provide any benefits, even before the mandate.

U assrags will be all over obamacare when ur ass gets sick
STFU

I Like your positive attitude. Excellent, we should do more of this and ignore everything about the system, this is what will change things.

Yes, Jesus hates those people whose profit margin is ten cents a pizza, and will now be in the red because the red in the WH just stole all profit they have after investing everything they have in their business. Actually, Jesus even loves atheist socialists who use his name to advance their collectivist agenda.

No benefits either.

Kodak retirees lose health, welfare benefits

[link to www.usatoday.com]
4:54PM EST November 5. 2012 - Eastman Kodak won court approval Monday to quit providing health and welfare benefits to 56,000 U.S. retirees and dependents.

The ruling, made Monday by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Allan Gropper, is a major one in Kodak's Chapter 11 bankruptcy and restructuring. Kodak had been seeking court OK to quit offering such benefits by the end of the year.

Yeah, if you live in your Mom's basement. If you have a family, a mortgage, a couple of cars however, not so much
