We ask that the President and Legislature of the United States examine the business practices of corporations employing low wage hourly employees in industries such as hospitality, janitorial and maintenance, Clerical, and other hourly roles, to put measures in place to prevent their employers from intentionally reducing their hours to circumvent health care and hour requirements in the AARA.
Currently, many of the franchised corporations have already began a program to provide blanket reduction in hours of full time staff (per their W4) to under 25 to approximately 80% of their staff. This only puts the employee and state in a hard position due to the almost automatic qualification for Reduced Benefit ReEmployment Assistance aka Unemployment.This is counterintuitive to the meaning of AARA
