It’s not for him to say.
Don’t send those notices out. let’s make it a surprise! Workers love surprises. Don’t you just love this “most transparent administration” in history?
God forbid someone find out what’s really going on in this country!
Did they just realize that cutting Defense would also cut jobs in all the companies supplying Defense Dept ,Oh never thought of that ,D’oh
I don’t put it past oblahblah to write an EO making it illegal to layoff anyone or close a business.
Do you want to get rid of this DIM cabal in this election...??
THEN,....
Shine the bright light on these defense cuts...
Do what you need to do in light of your own projections and business expectations....
WITH the sequestration cutbacks (&Taxmageddon) looming...
THEN MAKE IT ALL VERRRRY PUBLIC!!
Any contractor that doesn’t give the warning notice WILL have to legally cover it out of his pocket - unless Obama can figure out a way to waive it, or make up the difference. Anyone working HR at those contractors who don’t follow the law here risks jail time.
They’re welcome to take Obama at his word...but there’s an awful long history of people that have done that and ended up quite disappointed.
BIG FLATS, N.Y. (AP) Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., citing declining military budgets and a tough economy, said it will close its plant in upstate New York and eliminate all 570 jobs.
Employees at the 5-year-old facility, which has seen its ranks dwindle from a peak of 1,300, were told Monday that the plant would close as of Dec. 31 and its work transitioned to Sikorsky's West Palm Beach, Fla., facility.
Why does anyone find this different from the normal everyday information from the mac daddy administration, everyday they lie hundreds of time to the American voters to make themselves appear like they have our best interest at heart.
Obama can just tell them not to obey a law?
Most likely there are contracts involved especially if unions are involved. Is Obama telling them to ignore legal contract clauses concerning layoff? Keep an eye on this one.
This is extortion.
Defense contractors should go ahead and issue the WARN notices, but include a flyer stating that at-risk employees shouldn't worry because Sugar Barry's gonna take care of them.
Don't have to worry about no gas, no rent, Obama's gonna take care of you!
Include contact info for a free phone, too.
Obama administration tells contractors again: Dont issue layoff notices, don’t worry about violating the WARN Act, We gotcha covered.
What a bunch of crap.
If you were a contractor, what would you do? I’d do the layoffs. Why? The law requires it.
From the article:
“But the Friday guidance from the Office of Management and Budget raised the stakes in the dispute, telling contractors that they would be compensated for legal costs if layoffs occur due to contract cancellations under sequestration but only if the contractors follow the Labor guidance.”
So...it’s not enough that 0bama and his cabal engage in anti-Constitutional, illegal acts. Now, they are enticing government contractors to join their anti-American pogrom of destruction by violating WARN Act requirements, and agreeing to compensate them for costs incurred.
This a$$hole should be in jail, along with his handlers, his czars, his illegal appointees, and all the other progressives who’ve facilitated his destruction of America.
The best bet for contractors is to issue “non-notice” notices. That is, direct all branches of the company to compile confidential lists of non-critical employees, but don’t let anyone know who is non-critical.
If you really want to stir up the employees, make them submit resumes with a one-page statement about why *they* are critical to the company. This should utterly terrify them.
