Surprise: PA College Slashes Instructors' Hours to Avoid Obamacare
Breitbart ^ | 21 Nov 2012 | Wynton Hall

Posted on 11/21/2012 6:13:08 PM PST by george76

Pennsylvania's Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) is slashing the hours of 400 adjunct instructors, support staff, and part-time instructors to dodge paying for Obamacare.

"It's kind of a double whammy for us because we are facing a legal requirement [under the new law] to get health care and if the college is reducing our hours, we don't have the money to pay for it," said adjunct biology professor Adam Davis.

On Tuesday, CCAC employees were notified that Obamacare defines full-time employees as those working 30 hours or more per week and that on Dec. 31 temporary part-time employees will be cut back to 25 hours.

She was a liberal too- a very dangerous one. She used her womanly wiles to convert others to liberalism- ah seed it wit mah own ize. Granted, she was in posession of very large artificial charms which she used like a superior marksman but in a gifted way that looked unintentional.

The women weren’t fooled and dismissed her with contempt. The men- mmm...not so much.

That's usually the case.

It's a powerful force ~ back in the day I woke up one day and discovered I was on speaking terms with the four largest ones on campus ~ none greater!

They're like a drug ~

Maybe this asshat can meet up with the “bakers” from the now defunct Hostess Baking and “share” one of the last remaining Twinkies.

The article said it won’t be long until others are doing this. What do they mean, it won’t be long? I am an Adult Education Teacher. I was hired in April, 2007 as a contracted employee of our public board of education. I was hired at $18 per hour, no paid time off. Holidays, snow days, school closings, etc. = no pay No insurance or retirement plan. In my 6th year, my pay is still $18 per hour. There is another instructor (with Master’s degree) hired just like me.

If a teacher is absent, I cover. If the other instructor is absent, I cover. When the other instructor had baby, I worked overtime for 7 weeks.

This is happening a lot here. Regular teachers get all the benefits, paid time off and retirement plus raises annually.

BTW, the other contracted employee is a young person who was encouraged by our politicians to borrow $40,000 in student loans to get her Master’s degree as a teacher. She’s been trying to get hired on as a regular teacher for 7 years with no luck. They pay her just like me as part-time contracted services. What is even worse, when a teaching job comes open, they won’t count her time here as experience for seniority in hiring.

GOP should play political jujitsu. Dems want to tax the rich. Fine, accept more taxes on millionaires and in return get cuts in entitlements. That way if the Dems refuse, they become the gridlock after the GOP accepted their demands for millionaire tax, Why accept such a deal, the Dem demands will boomerang on the Dem states. States with high tax rates include CT, NY, NJ, MA, CA and IL to name a few. Imagine the New York liberal types who already pay high state taxes now saddled with higher fed taxes. Worst local businesses will pass the cost onto them in the form of higher prices, or they close up and move. These states will lose businesses and quality of life will suffer even more. This will hasten the high tax states demise. I bet the high tax liberal state Senators will balk once their staffs go over the numbers on their rich liberal donors and businessmen.
