FOX News:
ObamaCare mandate could lead Washington grocery workers to picket line
Some 30,000 grocery store workers in the state of Washington could be walking picket lines as soon as next week, in what some say is a direct result of ObamaCare.
Big supermarket chains including Safeway, QFC, Albertsons and Fred Meyer are represented by Allied Employers in contract negotiations with the United Food and Commercial Workers and Teamsters. One of the employers' new proposals is to provide healthcare only to employees who work 30 or more hours per week, a minimum requirement under ObamaCare.
Now this will be interesting. Government shutdown, large grocery store closures. Bellingham is a very liberal community -- it will be interesting to see what the outcome is when it hits people in their shopping carts...
