Quote:The 30 hour rule was stupid.  A friend of mine works as a waitress, and she had her hours cut from full time (40 hours/week) to part time (28 hours a week).  It was a completely political move too.  Now she's barely able to pay her way through college (because not everyone is fortunate enough to have parents that pay their tuition and bills) unless she works multiple jobs.  Which she has tried to do (as well as go to college so she can get out of the unskilled jobs)

 

If she didn't have really good friends who set cheap rent, she would probably be homeless right now.  (She didn't vote for Obama, either.  She was only 15 when he was elected the first time around)

 

Nothing was done to protect the workers from businesses finding ways around their laws.  As usual.
