[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1208322, member: 29298"] Right, laws that try to help, then get twisted by business to make them worse than what was previously had (which was crap and really needed addressing), twist it totally out of the spirit of the plan, right back into another loophole. Companies have been abusing the part time loopholes for at least a decade now, as once an employee goes over a time... other beni's kick in, so what happens? Everyone becomes PT. Perhaps the law one day will say if you hire an employee, no matter hours... they are all equal in terms of what perks they receive. Or another blanketing law called "In the spirit of the law", so every future creative loophole gets shot down, when it easily goes against the spirit of the law it is bending. I believe there was a law that Bush passed to "protect the middle-class" because of what Enron did. I believe your company used that new law to state they could not guarantee funding of your pension, so in lieu of that... They dropped a better pension for a lesser one, total win for your company, blame the law, move on. Same type of thing and it happens under both parties as we can see here. Both laws and parties in this case tried to help/protect the working class, but business twisted it another way to give them an out and blame the law. That is what I'm seeing, you almost don't even want any new laws because it gives the companies a reason to re-review their policies, correct them to their advantage and yes then blame the new law, the opposite of the spirit of that law.
