Not trying to get political with this, but I found it interesting nonetheless.
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsfaithblog/56374475-180/workers-hours-health-cuts.html.csp"As the nation anticipates further implementation in January 2014 of the Affordable Care Act, which requires companies with 50 or more employees to provide insurance for their full-time employees, LDS Church-owned Deseret Industries has cut its workers’ hours to fewer than 30.
In doing so, DI, as it is known, will not have to provide health coverage for these employees."
And I loved the doublespeak here:
"But they do not get health insurance, according to LDS Church spokeswoman Ruth Todd.
"Todd explained the cuts as a way 'to serve as many people as possible.'
"Reducing the trainees’ hours, she said, 'has allowed for a dramatic increase in participants.'"
