Why is Obama planning on ignoring another federal law right before the election?

[drystan]

Obama's Labor Department on Monday issued "guidance" to the states, telling them that a federal law requiring advance notice of mass layoffs does not apply to the layoffs that may occur in January as a result of automatic budget cuts known as "sequestration."

Under the WARN Act -- The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act -- companies with more than 100 employees must give 60 days' notice if there is to be a mass layoff during any 30-day period for 500 or more employees (or for 50-499 employees if they make up at least 33% of the employer's active workforce).

Is it true that Obama doesn't really want all these pink slips going out five days before the election? Give me my vote and then you'll receive your pink slip?

Ask your GOP representative what he/she is doing for you in these matters.

CNS News?

Too funny...

Automatic is the magic word in "Automatic Budget Cuts".

Obama's whole philosophy is "never mind the law, we'll just do it my way for right now"

Just like the way a Dictator thinks.

They will do everything they can not to eff up the swing state Virginia filled with pink slips on Halloween up to and including breaking laws, pretending they are above the law.

That northern VA area around DC that never experiences a recession because its filled with government workers and contractors, those 2 counties or so are essential to Obama winning VA. The rest of the state is Romney territory.

[gerard]

If it doesn't apply guess what, it doesn't apply!

He's got a thug mentality.

Never heard of CNS news. You Illuminates are wasting time trying to shut my computer down. You should be packing for your run from the law that is writing warrants for your arrests at this very moment.
