Companies don't want to pay for health benefits
It's all $$$ related......less/no benefits......little or no vacation.......no OT......less protection from being let go.....win...win...win...win for them !!!!
.
Companies who make their workers part time to avoid paying health benefits are really just screwing themselves.
Nobody can live on a part time salary so the worker needs a second part time job. That leaves them tired and prone to mistakes from working back to back shifts, late because of conflicting transit schedules, taking more time off to recover from stress related illness. If the worker has a family the lack of leftover quality time can stain these relationships to the point where its impossible not to bring these issues to the job. If they have to be fired then the company bears the cost of finding and training new people.

Health care it seem, is only a issue here in this corporation. All these other countries seem to me moving along just fine when it comes to health care!! Too much greed in this corporation!!
The other reason for this move is to kill dissent for shady work practices.
For instance, a worker complains about lax safety standards. It's illegal to fire them for this so instead you cut their schedule back until they quit. I worked for two different companies that actually did this or threatened it.

Work and not get paid?
Yes.
They will tell you this needs to get done before you leave but clock out at the end of your shift and complete the work.
Health benefits is what I was referring to. I was shopping for benefits for my employees and quickly said...fuck that.
thats why i always laff when "they" brag about this many new jobs were created and so forth
Those are always low income and part time jobs mainly.
Somethings gotta give, and soon.
EVERTHING has risen steadily upwards since like the 80s, except wages!

Oakland they got 600sqft studios for only $500k
That part
Oh, I know what you mean!! The cost of health benefits are crazy and to top it off, were not even getting top care.

You'd be a fool to do it. fuck kinda shit is that
The only solution to that is to that is to turn SF to Detroit.
No they're not. White people would rather live in a 3rd world country than do anything that blacks might benefit from.
They're Coming Back
I remember this shit from high school when they re-zone the store after it closed. Them bitches even locked the front door until it was done. Luckily since I was in high school, it wasn't required for students so we could bounce when the store closed.
They aren't talking about the city of San Francisco in particular. Just quoting a person who works at the local federal reserve.
If they were they'd mention that everyone who lives in SF and makes less than $54k/year is eligible for government health care under the Healthy San Francisco plan. There's absolutely no incentive for employers to cut hours to avoid giving health care.

Housing and Student Crash Lurking.....
As bad as this is...and its widespread....the slicker...often shadier companies...*cough* uber and their like, get/got to label their workers "contractors"...
So, not only will you get no benefits, you're gonna make billions for a company, and use your own resources to do it.....and receive less compensation.

The U.S. needs to join the rest of the OECD world and offer medical coverage to all citizens; its
called Single Payer. In the U.S. over 50% of all personal bankruptcies are due to medical bills. In countries that have single payer the number of bankruptcies due to medical bills is 0%. There are no health care CEO's in OECD countries earning $800,000,000 a year, earned by having a business model that is reliant upon denying as much medical coverage as possible to sick patients and selling pills for as much as $45.00 per pill that one can drive to Canada and get the same exact pill manufactured by the same company for 25 cents each.
I think so too ,
Trump is accelerating it
The way it used to work at my old job was if you worked 38 1/2 hours for 3/4 of the year you got benefits. My old boss would put everyone on the schedule for 37 hours and overlap their shifts to get away with that except for 2 people and he'd work them to death. They earned their benefits.
You aint kidding, they followed the damn brain dead regan and turned their back on the unions.. One of the worst things they couldve done.. Ive been a union member since the age of 25 and yeah they have their issue problems, but ive been happy paying my dues for years..
I hear ya bro!!! You wont get an argument outta me on this health care problem.. The whole medical system is outta control and needs to be gutted and reformed!! When I started paying for health care insurance, I was paying $50 per month and that was for a family.. Today Im paying $750 per months,$2000 deductible and sum drugs I have to pay full price.. But its the same insurance as when I first started at the company.. I knew we were in trouble this past election, when people werent screaming for decent healthcare and you had lower class white people swearing up and down a billionaire was just like them!! But white folks have bought completely into this bullshit narrative, that if they work hard they too will become on of the rich class.. But in reality they dont understand they can work hard and still leave this earth as poor as they entered it!! Anyway, they have to tackle this healthcare system one of these years!!!
You can blame your Tech
I have a boy who lives out there and paying $1900 for a one bedroom in the San Fran metroplex is considered a steal.
That's a mortgage on a McMansion in Houston.
*two cents*
