How easily the libs are fooled. Darden won't reduce any full time workers to part time, they just won't hire any more full time workers.
Nice job libs. Ya did it again.
Looks like more and more we need a Government option for healthcare

NEW YORK (AP) -- The owner of Olive Garden and Red Lobster says it won't bump any full-time workers down to part-time status, after its tests aimed at limiting health care costs resulted in a publicity backlash that took a bite out of sales.
i like italian food so i never eat at olive garden
Any company which has a 50% turnover of employees has a lot more problems that healthcare.
I guess y'all missed this part of the story:
"....Beyond health care costs, Darden has made cutting labor costs a priority in recent years. In the most recent fiscal quarter, the company's restaurant labor costs were 31 percent of sales. That's down from 33 percent three years ago. The reduction has been driven by several measures.
Last year, for example, the company put workers on a "tip sharing" program, meaning waiters and waitresses share their tips with busboys, bartenders and other employees. This allows Darden to pay more workers a far lower "tip credit wage," rather than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Servers at Red Lobster also now handle four tables at a time, instead of three...."
No wonder people quit.
See? It's never cut and dried. All this ballyhoo about businesses cutting back over Obamacare is really all about corporate greed. It's not that they CAN'T afford healthcare for their workers, it's that they don't want to because it might cut into profit.
There's nothing wrong a company making a profit. Heck, they have to. But, we've gotten to the point that we no longer expect a company to have a corporate morality or conscience, no longer expect them to consider the welfare of their employees or the good of the nation as a whole. We allow them screw, blue and tattoo anybody they want to maximize profit.
No, THAT is not a good thing and I for one feel little sympathy for them. They'll still make a profit, even if they're forced to provide healthcare. It just won't be AS MUCH.
It was never anything more than political posturing anyway. How funny that their business took a hit.

That's what happens when your restaurant business is based on advertising and reputation instead of good food. Eventually you'll piss of the sheep that flock to your doors and they'll move on to the next big chain rage.
