[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1170391, member: 42270"] Labor's support of the ACA was contingent upon the so-called "Cadillac" plan tax being waived and/or eliminated before it actually kicked in sometime in either 2015 or 2016. There's little to no hope of that exemption being passed through legislation any time soon with the Congress in place right now; the Tea Party surge in the 2010 mid-term elections wasn't foreseen. With 34+ attempts at repealing it in the House, what are the chances of an exemption for [B]labor unions[/B] to escape an ACA-imposed tax being passed? I don't have a problem with Obamacare, per se, but the under-30 hour/week exemption for employers and the Cadillac health plan taxes are the two worst aspects of the law. If you give an employer a chance to wiggle out of an imposed cost by cutting hours, you'll just have a swathe of workers averaging 29.99 hours/week. For example, the Darden Restaurant Group (Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse) brags about its employees receiving a paid week of vacation every year; but the catch is, you have to average 30 hours a week each year to qualify. Darden management is ordered to cut hours so no one averages above 29 hours, resulting in very few employees actually getting a paid vacation. [/QUOTE]
