It sounds like it'll make it difficult for some -- and perhaps a lot of -- workers ever to draw a retirement check from an employer.

Thank your local congressmen for the mandates legislated for 'full time' employees.

Everyone everywhere better be making their own plans for retirement. Unless they intend to work their whole lives.

Less stability, less confidence and less hope in the future. Not a good sign for the economy as people will be less willing to borrow and spend. It could be signaling a major shift in attitudes.

This has been going on for years. Companies have no responsibility for health care for employees until they reach six months of employment. The same to be said for unemployment benefits as temporary workers. We have all these laws to benefit (?) the worker but the companies have learned to circumvent a lot of their labor costs by going temporary. Family leave is also circumvented by temporary workers. Our own rules and regulations are killing our economy more than imports. We have far more restrictions and regulations than the USSR ever had in its hey-day;.
