More jobs destroyed because of Obamugabe. And the chief of Darden restaurants is a big donor to Obamugabe.

Plus, with the shorter hours per worker, Darden will have to employ MORE part time workers, which will further lower the phoney "unemployment" rate that the government uses these days, showing how successful Obama's policies are.

And, here's Darden's CEO.

A picture is sometimes worth a 1,000 words.

Actually, this could lead to MORE McJobs - sucky part-time no-benefits jobs to be sure, but more of them to cover the hours of operation. Servers will pick up a second shift at an unrelated business in order to get their 40 hours (sans benefits), the DOL will aggregate these part-time jobs into FTEs (full-time equivalents) and report a DROP in unemployment. The gubermint wins, the employer wins, the employee is screwed.

I thought I read somewhere that they were changing the work week to 30 hours is full time. Did anyone else read that ?

That’s O.K., if Darden puts their hours into a status where Darden can drop them from it’s health plan, Obamacare requires they must get their own coverage or pay a fine, no?

Remember that Obamacare shouldn’t be seen as an end or outcome, but an incremental path designed to collapse the current system and bring about single payer.

These workers are going to end up being pushed into the public option. Which will snowball as more and more companies see ending health insurance as a benefit as a means to lower costs to stay competitive with the companies that already have.

More chickens ‘coming home to roost’.
