To Sidestep Obamacare, Wendy’s Reduces Hours for Hundreds in Nebraska

Employees at various Wendy’s restaurant locations in Nebraska will work fewer hours this year, reportedly due to costs associated with Obamacare.

Under the new healthcare law, businesses with 50 or more “full-time” employees must offer health benefits to their staffers working between 32 and 38 hours. Non-managerial workers at Omaha-area Wendy’s will see their hours cut to 28 hours a week, according to local NBC affiliate WOWT. …

The number of employees in Omaha who will be affected by the decision is in question. The Huffington Post reported approximately 300 staffers, while WOWT reported 100 workers.

There are 11 Wendy’s locations in the metro area. …

...there are, no doubt, SOME who did not vote for this, who are going to suffer for it.

Stipulated, but it's just the entire American Nation that will suffer for the selfishness and envy of the Obamavoter.

And by extrapolation, America being nearly the last and certainly the strongest promoter of human economic liberty in history, pretty much everybody on the planet, other than the ultra rich aristocracy, will suffer.

They’ll figure out a way around that! Their ends, justify their means!

The rules here are set by Economic Natural Law.

Boycott or not, there is a point that a Wendy's franchise cannot sell enough hamburgers at a high enough price to pay the costs imposed by hook or by crook.

At that point the employees are no longer paid, no matter how many hours they work, even if the government makes it illegal to fire them.

Moreover, there is a point of no return that is passed substantially earlier, that make this outcome unavoidable under any circumstance.

No matter what is done to get compliance, it does not work, and complete disaster ensues.

Legitimate governments reward the righteous and punish the wicked.
Liberal gov’ts do the opposite.

I think “slavery” is the whole point.
Payback.

What demographics are “over represented” in the current maker and taker classes?

Considering most of the fast food employees these days are illegal aliens, hopefully, this will have the side effect of encouraging a bunch of illegals to go back to wherever they came from.
