Community College slashes hours of 400 employees because of ObamaCare. Employers must cut hours or eliminate workers outright

"You need to be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.  This came to mind when I read a recent report about what is happening at a Pennsylvania college.

One of President Obama's most loyal -- not to say fawning -- constituencies clearly is academia.  His rate of support among collegiate faculty and administrators surely approaches near-unanimity on the typical campus.

This is why the news about the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) is so richly ironic.  CCAC has just announced that because of ObamaCare, it will have to slash the hours of 400 of its employees, about half of whom are adjunct instructors.  

This is because under the new law, companies and other organizations employing 50 or more employees are required to provide full health care insurance (at high cost, because of a host of new mandates the law includes) for all employees working 30 or more hours a week.  

This means that employers have a tremendous incentive -- indeed, virtually a gun at their heads -- to either cut hours for employees to under 30 hours per week or eliminate workers outright (by outsourcing, offshoring, contracting out, and automating), or to keep the employees under 50 by simply not expanding."...via Free Republic

Ed. note: The GOP likes ObamaCare as much as democrats do. We gave the GOP all the people it needed in 2010 to defund it and they told us to shut up.
