Last week we found out that, beginning in January, any employee who is not full-time at that point, will be limited to 28 hours per week and all new hires will be subject to the same policy.

Other grocers did this 30 years ago. Kroger is losing market share to Wal Mart throughout the south, as the majority of WMs are now superstores. 2 years before Obamacare, WM cut into Krogers here so bad, they stopped being open 24 hours.
Wal Mart beats their prices; Publix has a much better deli.

This practice, has happened, is happening, and will happen in the future, with our without Obamacare. I work with the urban poor, if you don't think restaurants, fast food chains, retail stores, generally speaking, the entire service industry, doesn't cap part-time workers at x hours per week to avoid paying them appropriate benefits, you are sorely mistaken.
As others mentioned, this would be a reason not to support this type of store, regardless. It's poor business practice to 'profit' off of the backs of your hard-working employees.
Obamacare would provide federal healthcare subsidies for the many part-time employees right now who are unable to receive benefits from their employers who have practiced this type of business prior to the birth of Obamacare.
Here's an article from the WSJ, not biased to one side, that provides more detail about the program, it's pros, cons, and, why something needs to be done to fix the present dysfunctional state of our healthcare system:

Correct.
Decades back, the nations leading payroll processors offered software that would WARN employers when either OT or Benefit elgible hours worked were being approached by employees. It was not so the employer could buy a cake to celebrate with the employees.

I'm sure we were warned of things like this but you know... 'we had to wait to read what was in the bill.'
Lower pay, fewer hours. And a loan to send Junior to college so he can get a lower paying job (if any) and longer hours. Maybe that's why Julia wants to sell her vagina to the government. She can get a better deal from them than if she were to marry Junior.
I worked at Krogers 20 years ago. I wasn't allowed to have more than 24 hours for some reason, and I always had the highest I.P.M.'s (items per minute), so, from a meritocracy perspective, I definitely deserved more. But then very few of the people that I worked with came anywhere close to full-time employees.

So let me get this right. An Operative(spy) named "Faith" is quoted on a blog," Directorblue"; as having supplied the documentation you posted here???
Please humor me, tell me that this is correct so far..
