Employer pushes employees over the line

I wrote to my congressman here in Pennsylvania asking how HCR is going to help me with my specific situation. My premium through work is high, but I need it because my husband is self-employed. I received a response a few days later this morning and wanted to share with you all in case you were also curious (in the same situation). "Two things will happen if your employer-provided coverage is deemed unaffordable (your insurance would be considered unaffordable if your premium payments total mor ...

I would be very, very, very angry. I am angry for the women who work for Hobby Lobby and any other corporation who would presume to have control over my body. I am already stressed out enough as it is with trying to make near perfect mega lines per hour at minimum wage and dealing with no work available, inconsistent QA policies, lack of time off, and demands for overtime. I cannot believe that 5 old men have that power to discriminate against women, and now my employer has that&nb ...

Just Wait Until the Employer-Provided Health Insurance Cancellations Kick In November 18, 2013 RUSH: I got an e-mail. "Rush, why are the employer-provided policies going to be canceled starting next year?" The answer to that's simple, folks. It's because of the employer mandate delay. You remember that Obama delayed the employer mandate? Starting next year, the employer-provided policies will come up against Obamacare, and they will be found to be illegal, just like the pr ...

Just curious.. did anyone's insurance that they got through their employer, not through the ACA web site, actually see any drastic changes to how their insurance worked? Any huge difference in cost? My insurance did not change a bit, not even the cost which is the first time that it has not gone up yearly in well, decades... My daughter is having her employer insurance benefit meeting today and there were rumors of big changes with huge deductibles with no doctor visits covered ...

The Congressional Budget Office now says ObamaCare will push 10 million off employer-based coverage, a tenfold increase from its initial projection. The "keep your plan" lie just gets bigger and bigger. The latest CBO report is supposed to be a big win for the Obama administration because the projected costs are 20% below what the CBO first projected in 2010. But the CBO report also shows that ObamaCare will be far more disruptive to the employer-based insurance market, while being far less ef ...

I am horrified at what is happening in Wisconsin and many other states. There has been a systemic effort to take away our rights and this is just the latest. If you are a working medical transcriptionist you know only too well about the cuts to wages and benefits. The corporate policies (using political influence) have offshored work, cut wages and benefits, driven workers into unemployment, so that the remaining workers will grasp at any reduced wages and benefits that might ...

See what you've done? ...

The Internal Revenue Service, which is responsible for collecting federal taxes and enforcing federal tax law, was unable to accurately deal with its own complex rules governing the payment of its own employees and ended up overpaying more than 600 IRS workers about $4,200,000, according to an audit report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. The IRS also underpaid more than 900 employees about $2,700,000, according to TIGTA’s estimate. The inspector general found th ...

As companies begin unveiling their workplace benefits for next year, many employees are learning they will have to dig even deeper into their pockets for health coverage. Such price increases have become a fact of life during open-enrollment season, when workers sign up for their health plans. But the jump is expected to be steeper in 2010 than this year, as employers struggle with the impact of the recession and continually rising insurance costs. Employees will pay $4,023 on average in premiu ...

The last garment factory that survived for 112 years is now gone. They just couldn't hang on any longer. They did last 4 years longer than the 90 year old company, but imports killed all of those factories. It was nothing to have 3-4 garment factories in each town. Some of the workers were employed there for 40 years and that's all they knew. The only opportunities they have now is Wal-Mart or picking orders in big box warehouse jobs 20 miles away or whatever is left in the closest ci ...

Illinois is broke and continues to flirt with junk bond status. But the state’s financial woes aren’t stopping 63,000 government employees from bringing home six-figure salaries and higher. Whenever we open the books, Illinois is consistently one of the worst offenders. Recently, we found auto pound supervisors in Chicago making $144,453; nurses at state corrections earning up to $254,781; junior college presidents making $465,420; university doctors earning $1.6 million; and 84 small-to ...

Turns out we're only 50th in erection length, which I guess could be explained as a nation of immigrants. Uraguay is first...; a surprise to me, but of course not to them.

Congress and governors have clamored for action in the face of a rising tide of opioid addition and deaths, but part of the trouble might come from inside the government itself. The Associated Press reported yesterday that the federal government has launched investigations into the Veterans Administration for widespread theft of opioids. They suspect that doctors, nurses, and other employees have “siphoned off” opioids and helped to fuel the black market: Federal authorities are steppin ...

TRENTON -- President Donald Trump's executive order temporarily restricting travel from seven majority-Muslim countries prompted Comcast to give its employees paid time off to protest. Trump's order sparked protests around the country and elicited rebukes from a handful of CEOs of companies that employ tens of thousands of U.S. workers, including Bill Ford, CEO of Ford Motor Company, who took to the airwaves to say the ban "goes against our values as a company." Comcast, one of t ...

Let's watch and see how this goes over. Already Steny Hoyer and the National Federation of Federal Employees are against this proposal. My thoughts on this (regarding the union), why should the American people that aren't covered by unions have to make all the sacrifices? Why should unionized employees get all the 'breaks' no matter what issue comes up? NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- President Obama on Monday called for a two-year freeze in the wages of federal employee ...

Why isn't the media telling this little story? Probably because it will reveal just how bad this economy is and the Bamster will look bad. ...

You know that government can’t restrict your speech. Officially. But they can in all kinds of practical ways, just as they can do lots of other things to you without ever really taking an official action against you. Take the famous “Don’t Tread On Me” cap. Congress will never pass a law that says you can’t wear that cap, just because politicians may not like what the cap stands for. Constitutionally, Congress cannot do so. But if you think that means the government can’t come do ...

IRS employees sent emails with sensitive taxpayer information to their own personal email accounts, according to an audit from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. Additionally, from May to June 2015, 49 percent of IRS employees in the small business and self-employed division sent 326 unencrypted emails containing 8,031 different taxpayers’ personally identifiable information to other IRS employees and other non-IRS email accounts. Karen Schiller, commissioner at the s ...

in Austin, Texas shocked his 50 employees by paying their full salaries during a five-month period when the business shut down. Jeff Glover, who has operated the Chick-fil-A for 15 years, wanted to remodel the building to accommodate more customers, but didn’t want to hurt his workers. So he continued paying them for the full five months. The restaurant, which reopened this week at West Braker Lane and U.S. 183, is now the largest Chick-fil-A in Austin–and surely the chicken retailer ...

submitted several hundred registrations that included false or fraudulent information.

The warrant indicates state police contacted a handful of workers who admitted to falsifying registrations. It was not immediately known if the fraudulent information resulted in illegally cast ballots. … ...
