Chik-Fil-A owner pays employees during a 5-month shutdown

Posted: Aug 16, 2015

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 with the biggest heart. ;

Nice to see some good news. It's a wonderful - company. May the Lord continue to

What the heck, I thought they were "horrible" - or at least that's what liberals

have told us. Those darn Christians.

Anyone else notice how this company has survived and prospered after the liberals targeted them for destruction?

I think they are a great company.

As usual, an - over the top statement.

The kerfluffle with Chik-Fil-A involved the company CEO disapproval of equal marriage, mildly upsetting to some in the LGBT community, not leftists trying to bring down a company. I applaud this Chik-Fil-A franchisee for his generous treatment of employees.

I wish more repubs and business owners would take a lesson from that most radical leftist of all, JC and treat all their workers better.

JC was not a leftist, "holy"cow. Talk about over the top - statement. I know he would

not believe in abortion.

The restaurant owner did this with his own money, not - other people's money, good

for him. That is the true Christian way. It's easy to be benevolent when it's not your money.

Even poor people are expected to tithe, and the Tower of Babel is an anti-socialist message. It makes everyone the same, and we are all individuals.

Three days before a partial Homeland Security shutdown, lawmakers cleared the way Wednesday for Senate passage of legislation to fund the agency without immigration-related provisions opposed by President Barack Obama. Approval in the Senate would send the issue to the House, where some conservatives derided the plan as a surrender to the White House. Other Republicans predicted it would clear, but Speaker John Boehner declined to say if he would put it to a vote. "I'm waiting for the Sen ...

Note: During Boehner's statement, he said, "We don't have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem." Obama said they are close. There is NO agreement as of yet. Democrats are still at $33B. The White House is insisting the top number is $73B but that ALSO includes the $43B already cut in the short term budgets to keep the government running. The budget cuts the Democrats want are not cuts at all according to the Republicans. "It's just smoke and mirrors." It looks lik ...

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.

Some of the workers were employed there for 40 years and that's all they knew.

Humbert makes about $30,000 a year, so she'll get a subsidy of about $300 a month. The new plan is similar to her current one, but ...

Almost any scheme that would impose a cost on Mexico for the wall is likely to have some cost to the American citizen as well. If you impose a 20% tax on imports, Mexican goods (e.g. produce) would us cost more for sure, although not 20% more because Mexicans would be pricing themselves out of the market, so they'll adjust their prices to some extent downward. The fact is, though, that the cost of drugs, human trafficking and the illegal population in the US is approximately 5 times ...
