Third notification regarding false information in this article about the 29 hour work week.

This is banned user:Grundle2600.

On two previous occasions on this talk page, I have pointed out the existence of false information in this article regarding the 29 hour work week.

In both of these cases, the Obama supporters chose to knowingly and deliberately keep this false information in the article.

This is now my third notification of this false information in the article.

Regarding the 29 hour work week, the article says that it is limited to "several businesses and the State of Virginia."

That claim is false.

Here are reliable sources which show that this applies to far, far more than just "several businesses and the State of Virginia."

In July 2013, leaders of the Teamsters, UFCW, and UNITE-HERE sent a letter to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi which said that Obamacare will "destroy the foundation of the 40 hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class… the law creates an incentive for employers to keep employees’ work hours below 30 hours a week. Numerous employers have begun to cut workers’ hours to avoid this obligation." source: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/07/now-they-tell-us-union-leaders-now-say-obamacare-will-destroy-health-well-being-of-us-workers/
