    Default ObamaCare Bites Unionized Educators

    I suspect that many of these folks voted for Obama

    Payback is a bitch. I wonder what they think about all that "hope and change" now



    As the proverbial offal hits the fan, adjunct instructors and their union leaders are understandably panic-stricken as they finally realize the impact of ObamaCare on their livelihoods.



    Union representatives are now sending their members letters stating that "the Affordable Care Act [aka ObamaCare] has defined full time as anyone working over 30 hours a week or 130 hours a month." Many of these hardworking and well-meaning local labor representatives, who were duped -- I mean, told by the American Federation of Teachers Union (AFT) that Obama was the one who would bring all good things to pass -- now find themselves in an untenable position.



    Many claim that this ObamaCare provision actually "leaves it up to the employers in education to define what the actual time worked by an adjunct actually is." And from the local rep's standpoint, it is clearly "atrocious" that administrators would try to abide by the law even though it adversely affects instructors.



    The traditional adversarial stance between administration and faculty is being ratcheted up by the union, which claims that the "the college is using the ACA law to reduce instructors' teaching load." They maintain that college administration's "interpretation is not accurate and that the regulations call for each school to come up with a reasonable method of determining full time status for compliance."



    Thus, "anyone teaching more than 9 credits this semester will have the Fall teaching load reduced by the number of credits over the 9 credits. For example, if someone is currently teaching 12 credits, she will only be allowed to teach 6 credits in the Fall. A 14-credit load will be decreased to four [because there are no five credit courses]. Moreover, anyone in other college-related work such as Continuing Education courses, teaching seniors in Life Center courses, working in the fitness center, and advising students will no longer be allowed to do these.
    Clearly, the hardships for instructors will be many. Poverty level will be the norm for many of these educators. They will be scrambling for other teaching assignments at nearby colleges and universities just to stay afloat.



    And Obama will be chuckling all the way.



    Because ObamaCare was never meant to be affordable or to improve patient care. It is about his amassing total control over people's lives. And far too many labor unions acquiesced to the Pied Piper's flute. Now their members are paying a very high price for this shameful partnership of lies.



    Yet, instead of taking this opportunity to bring forces together, the union will continue to place blame at the feet of college administrators. I hold no brief for administration. Some of their past actions should make a decent person hold his head in shame. But in this instance, there is a golden opportunity to fight back against the government's intrusion into our lives if only people would see past their immediate concerns.

    red states rule. Seems to me. The Union Finally got what it PAID FOR.

    The Union bosses demanded their membership's dues be used to help Educators.

    Obama won. The Dues worked. They won!

    It is funny to watch the reaction of liberals as they now feel the impact of Obama's policies

    In their world only the unwashed masses lose their jobs, have a loss of income, see their living expenses increase, and have to lower their standard of living.

    So now the fools that voted for Obama thinking he - and he alone - would restore economic prosperity to the nation and "spread the wealth around" (not their wealth of course) are now feeling what the rest of us have felt for the last 4 years

    However, these fools will not blame Obama. No they will blame the folks who run the college; the insurance companies; Republicans; Pres Bush; or Rush Limbaugh. They will blame everyone but the person who deserves all the blame.

    Their leader Pres Obama

    After all if you speak out and point out the results of his polices you are spreading "hate" and probably being a racist as well in the eyes of Obama's loyal followers
