I wonder how many new "victims" actually supported PPACA and if they still do ?
Pennsylvania's Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) is slashing the hours of 400 adjunct instructors, support staff, and part-time instructors to dodge paying for Obamacare.
"It's kind of a double whammy for us because we are facing a legal requirement [under the new law] to get health care and if the college is reducing our hours, we don't have the money to pay for it," said adjunct biology professor Adam Davis.
On Tuesday, CCAC employees were notified that Obamacare defines full-time employees as those working 30 hours or more per week and that on Dec. 31 temporary part-time employees will be cut back to 25 hours. The move will save an estimated $6 million..............
Surprise: PA College Slashes Instructors' Hours to Avoid Obamacare
The Career Transition Center for Dislocated Workers was created and implemented to address the state’s Rapid Response initiative for handling dislocated workers in Allegheny County via the Dislocated Worker Tuition Waiver Program.
Dislocated workers may take classes at CCAC toward the successful completion of one of the approved certificate programs for free tuition and fees only (no more than 36 credits within a 24-month period).
To start the inquiry process, call the Career Transition Center at 412.788.7351.....

Obama seems to have left a gaping loophole in this new heathcare tax of his. All you have to do is hire folks for 29 hours a week instead of 40? Won't all employers eventually do this? It may take some time for people to adjust to living on 75% of their prior budget, but simple arithmetic seems to make it necessary now, no?

these min. wage employees didn't have healthcare at 30 hrs a week. so nothing's changed.
min. wage in pa is $7.25 per hour. 400 employees x 5hrs each equals 2000 hrs slashed.
at $7.25 an hour it's $14,500 a week the college profits. that's what changed.
if they really couldn't afford it, they would have made all part time employees work 29 hrs a week or used those savings to get healthcare. not pocket it.
and i'm sure if you offered one of the thousands of healthcare companies out there $58,000 a month to cover 400 part-time employees with basic healthcare with reasonable deductions, they'd make the numbers work.

All Obamacare is, is a vehicle to propel us towards the Cloward-Piven cliff.
The loss of jobs, the strain of the people forced to accept foodstamps and assistance from the very same government that created the situation that put them there will just crush the entire system.
This is/was bound to happen. You will see more companies and businesses hiring hiring more workers at less than thirty hours a week to avoid the cost of insurance.

Mental note, tell all the teachers that are flipping burgers that they don't want to work at CCAC if given the opportunity. "Look a teaching job!" Stampede in 3.. 2... 1 Second mental note, tell teachers presently working at CCAC to go work at Walmart over principles. Silence in 3...2...1.... This is the 100% reality of the teaching situation in the CCAC area. The teachers will line up even for a job teaching in a prison.edit on 21-11-2012 by elouina because: (no reason given)

I'm just curious as to what is the name of the cliff that the Bush administration propelled us towards in 2008?
