Wendy’s Franchisee Owner Blames ‘Obamacare’ For Cutting Back Employees’ Hours
OMAHA, Neb. (CBSDC) — Hundreds of Wendy’s workers are seeing their hours cut back because of President Barack Obama’s health care law.
WOWT-TV reports that nearly 300 employees at 11 Wendy’s locations in the Omaha area will have their hours reduced to 28 hours a week because the franchise owner says he can’t afford to pay his employees health care.
“It has a huge effect on me and pretty much everybody that I work with,” employee T.J. Growbeck told the station. “I’m hoping that I can get some sort of promotion because then I would get my hours, but everybody is shooting for that because of the hours being cut.”
Gary Burdette, vice president of operations for the local franchise, told WOWT-TV that he can’t afford to keep the fast-food restaurants open if he has to pay for his employees’ health care.
The president’s Affordable Health Care Act requires businesses to pay health care for employees that work more than 32 hours a week.
The Supreme Court ruled the health care law was constitutional last summer during a contentious debate.
I'm going to miss me some Wendy's Chili..

Facts are the center. We don’t pretend that certain facts are in dispute to give the appearance of fairness to people who don’t believe them. Balance is irrelevant to me. It doesn’t have anything to do with truth, logic or reality. ~Charlie Skinner (the Newsroom)

I seriously doubt any employee at any fast food restaurant, with the exception of managers, has enough hours to qualify.
This guy is a teabagger who wouldn't give them the hours.
and Dave Thomas is rolling in his grave...
