http://signon.org/sign/papa-johns-stop-threatening?source=mo&id=57857-3297678-Xh2Dt1x
To be delivered to: John Schnatter, CEO of Papa John's Pizza
Petition Statement
Stop punishing your employees. If you can afford to give away 2 million pizzas, you can find a way to afford 14 cents a pizza to cover your employees.
Petition Background
John Schnatter, CEO of Papa John's, is threatening to reduce worker's hours to 30 hours per week in order to avoid covering them under the Affordable Care act (Obamacare). He claims it will cost an additional 11 to 14 cents per pizza to cover his employees, a cost he cannot absorb or pass along to customers, so he plans to make his employees absorb the cost through reduced hours and reduced pay.

(41 posts)1. It's a market ruse
This egomaniac a-hole is basically pandering to the Conservatives so they'll plunk down an extra three bucks per pizza where he can run off with the remaining $2.80. And they'll do it gladly - no question. As we all know, Conservatives love to be peed on. Particularly by their own kind. Heck, that's their entire philosophy. Essentially, political water sports.
