Fry Cook Shifted to Part-Time Work Confronts Obama

[luckytxn 2,265]

Of course Obama pulls a deflection.

During a Google Hangout session on Friday, fry cook Darnell Summers told President Obama that his hours were cut due to the Affordable Care Act. “We were broken down to part time to avoid paying health insurance,” he said. Summers explained that he makes $7.25 an hour and has been on strike four times seeking a wage increase. “We can’t survive, it’s not livin’,” he said.

The president responded by urging states to increase the minimum wage. “I am working to encourage states, governors, mayors, state legislators to raise their own minimum wage,” Obama said. “Obviously, the way to reach millions of people would be for Congress to pass a new federal minimum wage law. So far, at least, we have not seen support from Republicans for such a move.”

The president did not address Summers’s comments about the healthcare law.

Republicans used to always be in favor of minium wage increases but if Obama says raise it well you know what that means.

Yes they have been. Two peas in a pod.

Darnell forgot that college exists.

Dude, if you're only making minimum wage, you've got bigger problems than having your public assistance benefits increase.

Probably because it has nothing to do with the ACA. It is obvious the employer did not provide health benefits to his employees before and continues to do so now. this is nothing the president should comment, so much as lament.

Dude needs to go the exchanges and sign up

As for still making min wage instead of going on strike he needs to enroll in school or hunt another job

So many jobs are going part time, temp or sub contractor. Shame

So Darnell who works for some shyster who wasn't paying health insurance to begin with and has been on strike four times seeking higher than minimum wage, is blaming Obama for his recent misfortune? Makes perfect sense to me.

Thanks Obama!
