What if: they put a partition/wall in the middle of the plant....new company name for the new one. One side makes the nuts and bolts.......then they go over to the other new company to be assembled........
Of course improvise according to the product made. Only have to let 2 people go. Would that work?
I suspect the decision’s based on total employees under one ownership. Though I wonder how an investment pool that just finances but doesn’t operate a bunch of 49 employee companies would work out. Former owners sign up their companies, provide financing, split profits. As with most poorly thought out legislation, I bet Obiecare will also prove to be a full employment act for clever lawyers and accountants.
