E action: Papa John's: Stop threatening your workers (over 100,000 so far!)


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.

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.
