Papa John's CEO: Obamacare likely to raise costs, employee's hours being cut

[GuyPinestra]

Blaming Obama's re-election for layoffs will be a hot fad for awhile. It's exactly the kind of thing people do who aren't capable of taking responsibility for their own actions.

They will point to rightwing led companies laying off employees out of spite

Meanwhile the country will still add 150,000 employees a month

Which doesn't keep up with population growth, let alone lower the UE rate.

This is success to you?

 

[GuyPinestra]

You know who doesn't get affected by this part of Obamacare?

The businesses run by people with enough business sense and acumen to create and maintain a profitable enterprise without having to treat their employees like dirt.

Yeah so only the most successful businesses should get credibility. The ones that are still building, or struggling because of a hurting economy...fuck those ones.

Papa John's is struggling?

btw, what did Americans do for jobs when the country wasn't blanketed with fast food restaurants?

We MANUFACTURED stuff....

Back to the basic thread:

Papa John's to Cut Workers' Hours over Obamacare

John Schnatter, CEO of Papa John’s Pizza announced he will likely be forced to cut back workers' hours because of the cost to businesses of the federal government's takeover of our healthcare system.

Provisions of Obamacare state that employees that work 30 hours a week or more will be automatically considered full-time and must be included in their company's healthcare insurance program. Currently, the eligibility threshold for health insurance is a 40-hour work week, so adding those who work 30 hours a week will cost businesses exponentially more. The higher cost associated with this change is forcing many businesses, especially those in the food service industry, to consider limiting workers to less than 30 hours a week.

In essence, implementation of Obamacare will cut the weekly take home pay of millions of low-wage workers by forcing companies to cut their hours.

Papa John's isn't the only company considering such cutbacks. Rusty Weiss has compiled a list of companies that have already announced layoffs due to Obamacare.

That list includes such companies as Kroger grocery stores, Darden Restaurants (the chain that runs such outlets as Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse and others), St. Jude Medical, Boston Scientific, medical device manufacturer Stryker, and many more.

There will be more to come. As companies begin to realize the monumental costs that will be forced upon them due to Obamacare, fewer new jobs will be created, worker's hours and pay will be cut, and it will be harder for entry level workers to transition from part-time to full-time workers as companies have to overcome this massive federal roadblock.

Applebees to freeze employment thanks to Obamacare:

Zane Tankel, Applebee's Franchisee, Says He Won't Hire Because Of Obamacare (VIDEO)

Their working poor servers and cooks are just going to have to work harder in fewer hours.

Hey, It is what they voted for!

 

[ScienceRocks]

I think there's little question that Obamacare has hurt hiring.

Is that why you don't have a job?

Either that or the Waffen SS uniform he keeps wearing to interviews...

I bet HE personally wont take a hit. He'll cut as many employees as he can before he takes a cut personally. Most would do the same. It's the human way.

and how about the people who own those franchises?

They are unlikely to have 50 or more employees.

' A day after Barack Obama earned a second term in the White House, Papa John's founder and CEO John Schnatter said the president's signature health-care reform law would increase his business costs and possibly result in employees' hours being cut.'

No, they get hurt because their Lord and Master John, King of Wage-Slaves, uses them as political bargaining chips.

All of these multinationals will do what they have to do for self preservation.

You are rather naive.

 

[uscitizen]

Doesn't indicate whether the average Papa John's franchise even has 50 full-time employees. Do they?

Hmmm, that does seem unlikely. [...]

Average Number of Employees: 8 Full-time, 18 Part-time

Papa Johns International

Then what are we even talking about here? Obamacare won't make those franchise owners cover their employees anyway.

Bingo! I wondered when someone would realize that.

Check out Papa Johns site they offer insurance to rull and part time employees.

What a lot of BS thread from several angles.

Congratulations, you've just said the most self-forsaking, ignorant statement I've ever read on this forum.

I got chunks of guys like you in my stool, son.

You will need to up your game.

LOL

 

[AmyNation]

So, when the CEO complains about costs, he's talking about the chains corporate costs, because Obamacare won't effect any of his franchise owners who have less then 50 employees.

Ha. I have even less pity for his whiny butt.
