"Obamacare is supposed to be helping those who can’t afford insurance, but it’s actually hurting them by forcing their bosses to cut back on hours,” said Randi Thompson, state director of the National Federation of Independent Business."

Added Yvanna Cancela, political director of the hospitality union Culinary Local 226: “Hard-working Americans will be taking a giant step back rather than a big step forward when it comes to health care.”

"You know things are bad when labor unions use studies from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as ammunition. (Since when have the two agreed on anything?) But that’s what’s happening with the 30-hour rule."

"Cancela pointed to chamber studies showing that 31 percent of franchised small and medium-sized businesses have already cut hours more than a year before the employer mandate takes effect on Jan. 1, 2015.

Another 27 percent said they’ve replaced full-timers with part-timers. Among nonfranchised businesses, 12 percent have cut hours, and 12 percent have swapped out full-timers."

Sooo...Obama hurts the very people who voted for him! Great leader does it again!

It's honestly stunning to me that people are surprised by this. Astonishing.

I detect racism and white man privilege in your post. Did I miss anything? Perhaps a little homophobia?

While I agree with you, they'll never really own it. Obama will just pass out more favors and unilaterally change the law so his buddies get a pass. We've seen him do it before and we'll see him do it again.

Damn right!! Gag on your 2012 votes. Embrace it. Revel in it. STAND BY YOUR (ELECTED) MAN - Lord Zero, he who rammed this national health care plan through on the backs of your solid support at the polls, suckers.

Elections have consequences.

I suspect many union employees will now see the wisdom of those words when their hours are cut from 40 to 29 a week. Tolerate earning 75% of what you once did and somehow pay for the ObamaCare Health Care Plan because the unions drop their group plan in 2014.

But, be a good Democrat and go pull that lever in November 2014 for your local Democrat Congressperson. They feel your pain; truly they do!!

The reason Unions hate this?...none of the employees will benefit from it...period.

Socialism is the equal sharing of misery. Unions can be miserable with the rest of us.
