An owner of several Wendys restaurants in Omaha, Nebraska will avoid obamacare by cutting the hours of his workers. Non management employees will have their hours cut to 28 hours a week
Many of the restaurants are are having to cut employees pay, fire employees or reduce the hours in order to avoid obamacare. The fast food industry has low profit margins and by forcing these costs onto them it only hurts the employees even more. The employees are the ones who are going to suffer the most, the business owners will suffer but the employees will face much harsher problems. obamacare was suppose to "help" these people but it doesn't, these are the unintended consequences. This also will help pass on the costs to the customers.
As well obamacare will increase the cost of healthcare, when the government gets involved they help to increase costs and reduce the quality of the service and innovation. Not to mention all the extra spending that it adds to the $16 trillion+ debt.
These restaurants should not be forced into this and instead it should be worked out between the employees and the employers, giving the employees more choice would be a much better idea than what obama is doing now.
Are the restaurants right to do what they are doing? Should obama back out and not force them into obamacare?
