The latest victims of ObamaCare are the Dudes of Juicy Couture, whose hours have been cut back so that the retailer won't have to provide affordable health care.
I'm betting most of the Dudes voted for Obama. If it weren't so tragic, it would be funny that the people being most hurt by ObamaCare are the cohorts who voted for The Won.
The Saga of ObamaCare Carnage is far from over.
Yesterday, some person (or group) tweeted to me a link to a campaign (allegedly) by and for the current and former employees of Juicy Couture to demand just hours.
You see, according to the campaign, the hip and trendy Juicy is doing what other companies are doing in an effort to cope with the burdensome regulations and costs of the Affordable Health Care Act (aka ObamaCare)the company is downsizing its full-time payroll to (mostly) part-time workers.
Surprise! Well, not if you have a functioning brain.
The group has taken the campaign to Twitter.

From their hilarious petition:
"When we began working at Juicy Couture, many of us were full-time. Now, only 19 of the stores 128 employees are full-time! Not only are they firing full-time workers and replacing us with a part-time workforce, just this month Juicy capped all part-time workers hours at 21 hours per week. We quickly realized that Juicy Couture is doing everything they can to not take care of its workers.
See, it was hard enough for us to make ends meet in New York City as full-time retail workers. But by keeping hours under 30 per week, Juicy Couture will no longer be required to offer their workers affordable health care part of the Affordable Health Care Acts plan to make sure more working Americans have basic health care. Further, we were told were only eligible for paid time off in case were sick or have other responsibilities if we work 1400 hours in one year. We did the math, and realized part-time workers reach that at 21 hours per week. This means that the vast majority of Juicy Coutures workers will not ever get one single paid sick day."
That mean old company wont throw extra cash at them so that they can live the New York City lifestyle to which theyve become accustomed! Dear Dudes: Companies are in business to stay in business and employ people. Obamacare regulations are making that increasingly more difficult; the costs are staggering and burdensome. That whole you can keep your plan deal? Obama lied....
