Is the 29 hours thing Wal-Mart’s fault or Obama’s?

It would be interesting to know what percentage of the WM workforce this will apply to after the full implementation of Obamacare.

Or maybe they only offer gay healthcare.

Remember that 29 hours is the new legal definition of full-time employment under Obamacare. It's certainly not Wal-mart's doing; as to which Dem staffer put that definition in the law, I can't say.

Obama has Walmart by the shorthairs. At any time he can send his Labor Dept. in their to audit 500,000 time cards, and smack them for a violation every time some idiot clocks out a couple minutes over.

That’s a pretty big stick.

this would be more relevant for their corporate workforce, not in-store workers.

LOL, that’s what I was thinking, when you offer very few benefits for very few people, it is easy to say such things. I am a volunteer and I regularly get my pay doubled, lol.

But, they are cutting hours of most of their work force so they don’t have to pay into Obozocare. Does this mean that homos are not having their hours cut???

I thought that Costco was a big democrat operation, and a paid membership store, not a normal store like Walmart.
