CA. is NOT a right to work state, you want a job in the grocery industry you MUST join the union!!!
30 hours is part time!! So he is not requiring 40 hours to be covered!!!
“If it bothers you as an employee, you are completely free to seek employment elsewhere.”
I work in employee benefits. Every year more co’s drop benefits or the latest trend of only hiring temporary workers employed through employment agencies so the co’s pay no longer have to pay any benefits, wc etc. This is going to be the new upcoming trend. It started 10 years ago in manufacturing now it’s spreading into white collar positions.
My wife and I ow 3 co’s. We all know what it is about.
This country has been on a race to the bottom for 25 years regarding employees and wages. Offshoring outsourcing, rampant HB1’s etc.
When you tell the populace to eat cake for so long they will revolt. Hence the rise of the Sanders and Warrens of the world.

Correct!!!!
Yes, but you do not have to take the benefits and pay the Union has strong armed from your employer. Give it back.
Amazon Bezos is rich and a jerk because he is Scrooge.
“How is the privilege of having healthcare provided, by an employer, eating cake? “
Not just health care. The offshoring/outsourcing of jobs, making traditional f/t jobs p/t so no HC, Mass HB1’s kicking off senior employees, and in my business I see the latest trend which is companies taking off employees and placing them on sub contractor basis so the employer does not have to pay any benefits, no Workers Comp, no sick leave or vacation days, no 401k matching etc etc
What until the Amazon business culture filters down to other companies and it will.
Trump has helped reverse this trend to a degree but it is still happening and will only gain momentum. We are on a race to the bottom.

First, if it’s an outsourcing company that is providing these employees, then they...LIKELY...are paying these types of benefits....it’s ROLLED IN to the cost of hiring that contract employee.
Second, these ‘benefits’ you list might possibly have to be covered by the individual, if they’re not employed by a large enough company. It’s still rolled in, regardless.
Another reason why folks should be prepared to finance their own health insurance, disability insurance and 401Ks/retirement.
“First, if it’s an outsourcing company that is providing these employees, then they...LIKELY...are paying these types of benefits....it’s ROLLED IN to the cost of hiring that contract employee.”
Temp co’s do not offer any benefits other than workers comp.
I will give a couple of examples.
1.)A local soap plant near was paying $18 hr to start on production floor along with paid health insurance, vacation days, nice 401k match. 40 hr weeks with ot if you wanted it.
2 years ago the soap co went with a local temp company. $11 hr, no health insurance, no vacation days no 401k match and only 25 hrs a week so they don’t have to pay health insurance.
2.) My niece in Washington DC with an MBA soon is making about $85 k per year full benefits, nice vacation and 401k and some other perks. She was planning on looking for another job once she gets her MBA-does not really like her current job.
She said 40% of the companies she started to look at wanted her to work on a sub Contractor basis. No benefits, vacation days etc. at basically the same pay she is at now so she is going to stay put.
As I said we are on the race to the bottom. The Amazon business model is spreading.
I see the ramifications of it because I work with employers and employees every day
