Hippy-dippy 'Trader Joe's' shifting employees to Obamacare due to high costs.

[Sunni Man]

ObamaCare just became very real for some Trader Joe's employees. Part-timers who work fewer than 30 hours a week will no longer be covered by the company plan starting next year—instead, they will pick their insurance policy from the exchanges being created under the Affordable Care Act.

The company, which has a sterling reputation in terms of the benefits it offers its part-time staff, will provide each worker with a $500 stipend. Between that "and the tax credits available under the ACA, many of you should be able to obtain health care coverage at very little if any net cost to you," says the company memo.

John Nolte at Breitbart writes that it's a sign employers are afraid their health care costs will "explode" under ObamaCare and are looking to cut benefits.

Why is good quality and low prices considered "hippy-dippy"?

Make you a bet those who bad mouth TJ's have never shopped there.

And, as always, Polly contributes garbled lies.

Very few companies give full time benefits to part time employees. Or, are you rw's saying that TJs is the only one who does not?

LOL, I love Trader Joe's...but you miss the central point...which does not surprise me.

Wal-Mart has been doing that for years. Did Breitbart complain then?
At least, unlike Wal-Mart, TJs pays good salaries.

Trader Joes is all over the place around here. Almosr everything they sell is their own brand so no one is ever sure where their stuff comes from. Lots of organic and specialty stuff. I go there sometimes but they have a very high recall on their products so I keep my fingers crossed no matter what I get.

 

[Moonglow]

What do they sell?

What do they sell?

It's basically a grocery store. Lots of organic goods. I shop there for most things.

Nonsense. It's the capitalists' act of worship. Greed is their creed.

Good point. As I recall, for every job Walmart creates, they destroy 1.4 existing jobs. The existing jobs may or may not have good benefits but one thing's for sure, the Walmart jobs don't. Walmart tells its employees to apply for Medicaid.

Obama dumpd a load of shit on America's businesses. Well, guess what. It would seem you have to be smarter to run a successful business than to get elected to public office. They are just dumping his load of shit back to him with interest. The death knell has sounded for the company insurance policy.

There's a reason for that. Trader Joe's doesn't open stores in black neighborhoods.

Plus, I don't think they take food stamps. ..

Insurance companies had to send checks back to clients because the "LAW" says they must spend at least 80% on the people who are paying for the policies.

Republicans find this outrageous and are screaming bloody murder it's NOT FAIR. Insurance companies should be able to gouge who ever they can for as mush as they can.
