Employers Will Cut Workers Hours To Avoid Obamacare!

This was the Latham Square Mall in Albany, New York. The mall was demolished in 2013. 
Greed over safety. Greed over happiness.

A good productive worker will show up at any given expense. When a worker calls off, the boss will call the most reliable worker to fill the void. The ones who the boss rely on will benefit from the hours given. The ones who are least productive will likely suffer the fate of losing hours due the employers' fears of Obamacare.

American businesses are trying to loophole the Affordable Health Care Reform law (aka Obamacare).

The employers are going to have ways to get to their bottom dollar. Of course at the expense of our dedicated workers (part time and full time) who build the stable of the middle class, the healthcare law's negative side effects will reign in upon 2014.

When unemployment numbers dropping, many Americans are searching for the jobs. Service jobs (i.e. retail,  food service, hospitality, and education) are plentiful. But are they paying good? Not really.

The service industry is the majority of America's job market. Manufacturing is downsizing and shipping out of the localities to other regions or places overseas.

The service industry provides the most employers so it's a requirement of the companies to provide health insurance to the employees. In order to eliminate the requirements under the law, they'll cut hours of part-time to avoid giving their employees health insurance.

The greed market is plentiful in our corporations.

Conservative business leaders want to punish the employees for their bitterness. The price paid when President Barack Obama won reelection they say. We'll save our money by laying off workers.

Not concerned about the worker's daily routine or family. Not concerned about their workers expenses or wages. Not concerned about the rising prices of food, gas, heating oil, water, public transportation fares, air travel, and electricity. As long as they can't own an island or an airplane, the conservative business leader will punish the company by letting workers go.

Somehow workplace discrimination is relevant when your boss tells you that if you vote for Barack Obama, you may loose your job. Somehow if the hours are getting cut and you're wondering how the heck you're losing hours, the boss will say that the business is slow and based on sales we give the hours.
History was made in 2010.
By cutting workers hours, its assured that dedication will drop immediately. The workers who are part-time will suffer first. Under the United States Occupational Safety and Health Adminstration (OSHA) the goal is to "assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance".

The New York Daily News reports that Obamacare may end up hurting many of the part-time workers the President had hoped it would help.

Under the far-reaching health care law, large employers are required to offer health insurance to part-time employees working at least 30 hours a week.

But that’s not how it’s played out.

Instead of granting insurance plans to part-time employees, a growing number of larger firms are actually cutting back on workers’ hours altogether, the Los Angeles Times reported.

In the process, the employers are stripping part-time workers not only of their ability to get company health insurance but of their much needed wages as well.

More than 2 million workers at large restaurant chains, retailers and a variety of other companies that employ more than 50 people across the U.S. are facing similar consequences.

The benefits of Obamacare helps bring down healthcare costs. The problems with Obamacare will be the employers who will cut your job in order to save their dollars.
Republicans lead the way to convince conservative business leaders to punish workers. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) is the most outspoken critic of Obamacare. She proposed eight bills that included a repeal of the president's signature health care law.
Republicans have put the fear of god in the legislation. They've tried over 30 times to repeal the law.

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) is one of the leading advocates of repealing Obamacare.
Of course, she has no alternative nor a solution to solve the revolving door of health expenses.

All she wants to do is please the conservative agitators of talk radio, the blogs and Loserville.

The Republican Party has no replacement to health care reform. The president is willing to allow changes to the law, however he wants something that benefits the middle class not the greedy.

So what's your thoughts on the employers cutting hours to avoid Obamacare?

Is it good or bad?

We're waiting for your response.
