...In worker compensation in a manner that to many businesses that it becomes more feasible to offer the worker less hours?
...Why the **** do the democrats want the low wage worker to suffer and be forced to work even more jobs, spend even more time commuting, and spend even more money on transport related costs?
Just where the **** are the politicians who care about the working poor?

Democrats often have great ideas and good intentions but fail to actually consider the unintended consequences of legislation they support.
Actually the people who want more people on welfare are the biggest corporations. If you look at it from an economic perspective the goal of most business is to keep operating costs low, while also ensuring a market for their products. Welfare is the perfect answer if you are low end retail.
In essence you pay your workers as little as possible and rely on welfare and stuff like the EITC to fill the gap, and because of these gap fillers your employees have just enough money to spend at your stores even though absent government aid in the form of food stamps and welfare they may not be able to sufficiently consume just on their salaries, as such you are able to bring an outside revenue stream in (other people's tax dollars) which lessens the economic concerns of circular flow or in layman's terms paying your own employees enough to shop at your business.

Replace the word Democrat, with "just about every single person on the planet" and you've got it. Seriously, saying the democrats fail to consider unintended consequences is needlessly partisan. EVERYONE tends to miss unintended consequences.

They hate workers.
its not that they hate the workers, but rather that they love their power and will do what it takes to keep it. and part of that is getting more people on the government dole so they can "stand up" for the little guy and keep government benefits flowing.

rubbish. it costs business a lot of money to hire, train, and pay employees, and every shift change is disruptive of the work flow. businesses would rather have a full staff of full time employees and have a few shift changes, rather than a staff pf part time employees and several shift changes. its also better for employee moral, and thus productivity, to have happy employees, and sorry but a bunch of part time employees who are either working two or three jobs and having the constantly juggle their schedules, or constantly having to deal with the government to keep their benefits coming does not make for a happy employee.

Even if you are making minimum wage and working full time you still likely will qualify for benefits and EITC. The fact is these businesses are hugely subsidized by welfare. Do you honestly think people would spend as much at places like walmart and safeway on their current salaries without EBT cards and the EITC. If you do you aren't good with math.
