Obamacare Layoffs: Georgia Businessman Claims He Fired Workers Because Obama Won

bohemiansouth:



A man claiming to be a Georgia small business owner said he fired some employees and cut hours for others because of President Barack Obama’s reelection. The man identified himself as Stu, without giving a last name, and said he owns a small aviation services company. He told C-SPAN’s Washington Journal that he “simply can’t afford” to run his business if he has to comply with the the Affordable Care Act. “Yesterday I called all my part-time employees in and said because Obama won I was cutting their hours from 30 to 25 a week so i would not fall under the Obamacare mandate,” Stu, who said he is from Williamson, Ga., told C-SPAN. Under the Affordable Health Care Act, businesses with more than 50 workers are required to provide health care coverage for full-time employees or those working more than 30 hours per week. Darden Restaurants, the parent company of Red Lobster and The Olive Garden, announced in October that it would downgrade workers to part-time status to limit costs from Obamacare. “I had to lay two full-timers off to get under the 50-person cap,” Stu told C-SPAN. “I tried to make sure that the people I had to lay off voted for Obama.”

“Stu,” who is so cowardly that he won’t give his last name, clearly has an ax to grind. And by firing Obama supporters he appears to be violating federal law. Any business that is trying to avoid providing health care is not a good corporate citizen. Red Lobster and Olive Garden appear to be in that category and until they reverse this policy, let’s stop eating at them (if we were eating at them anyway). My boycott has begun.

It may be prudent to wait and see how much of this is true. Rumor is that Rove's group is behind it. Since the employer mandate doesn't even kick in until 1/14 it may be premature to fire employees over a year in advance.

So Rove controls Boeing Aircraft and was responsible for their layoffs announced yesterday? LOL

I see, you can't blame Bush anymore so now Rove caused all these layoffs.

Obama needs to continue to blame the past administrations for all the problems he is inheriting on his second term. He wait, he now is the past administration.

The country is OUT of money Blitzen and it is presently spending $10 for every $7 it takes in.

I suppose it is easier for people like you to cope by being delusionally happy rather than painfully aware.

Whatever floats your boat. It's only your happiness that counts.

What do you mean by "pepple like me"? Have we met?

I prefer to have all the facts before passing judgement on anyone. 

I prefer to have all the facts before passing judgement on anyone. 

Really? Tell that to Romney, Bush and Rove.

I believe I used the word SUPPOSE. You need to focus a little more on ratiocination before making a puerile response.

No we have never met. No we will never meet either.

How long can you beat a dead horse?

What good comes from this blame game?
How many lost their jobs due to outsourcing?

How long has that been going on?

What good has come from this playing politics?

What's your idea of a cure?

That would be nice, an original thought, a good idea, got one?

You know mine.
 

 

 

OK then, Ninja, I'm going to have to return your Christmas gift.

OK ok to quote the famous Moons: SSDD.......did I not predict this? It is done folks--the election is OVER-Obama whether some like it or not has been reelected and will be the Prez again for 4 more years. And if some asshole wants to fire people a year and 2 months ahead of time--which he didn't actually fire them just cut their hours--then that is for him and whoever is in charge of illegalities like that. But oh hell no let's blame it on Obama. Guess they could have shipped that company to China too had Romney got elected.........Would that have made everyone feel better? You guys are a real trip. Like kids on Halloween fighting over who got the most and best candy agter it's already eaten.
Whoever said boycott Red Lobster and Olive Garden--I don't eat at either one. I worked for Red Lobster once and what a crappy place to work. I ate at Olive Garden once and what a crappy place to eat-13.00 for a plate of spaghetti. Good grief.....................
