Nope, this article is not slanted at all....I'm also selling a lot of bridges, too. Along with the Washington Monument.

Conveniently ignored in this "article" is the fact that one only has to work 20 hours a week to qualify for health benefits, benefits that are mostly paid for by the company. Last time I looked, most employers require full time employment before any funded benefits are offered. And minimum wage full time employees being offered benefits? Far and few between....unless you work for a Union grocery store.

For the sake of accuracy, that's not true. I work 29 3/4 hours a weeks just so that my employer won't have to provide me benefits. But they have to give me pension benefits because I work over 20 hours/week. I assume that this is a federal law and not a state one, but I could be wrong.

Sorry about that, in looking at what I wrote, I was less than clear. If one works for a Union grocery store, one has to only work 20 hours a week to qualify for benefits. This is what I was referring too. Unfortunately, my original post looked like I was referring to employers in general.
