Inhofe: Obama Administration 'Doesn't Want All These Pink Slips Going Out 5 Days Before Election'
(http://cnsnews.com/news/article/inhofe-obama-administration-doesnt-want-all-these-pink-slips-going-out-5-days-election)
(CNSNews.com) - President Obama is trying to prevent thousands of layoff notices from going out a few days before the November election, Sen. Jame Inhofe (R-Okla.) said on Tuesday.

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."

Inhofe, appearing on Fox & Friends Tuesday morning, said President Obama, through his Labor Department, "is trying to intimidate businesses, companies, corporations -- not just defense contractors -- into not issuing the pink slips," which are required by federal law 60 days before mass layoffs or plant closings.

"(T)he president doesn't really want all these pink slips going out five days before the election," Inhofe said.

Heh, heh. He's gonna loooooooooooze.

He doesn't care about anything or anyone but himself and holding onto power. Stop being so damned immature and gullible. Grow up!

President Obama does care...about winning the election by hook or by crook. Remember hiding Solyndra's bad information and descent into insolvency? Sadly for President Obama, other than for stupidly faithful followers like Cigar, he has become totally transparent. Most Americans can see through him. By election day he might be invisible.

I think his contest of winning a dinner with the President and Michelle the First lady......says it all. The American people are waking up to the Commercial. Time to get back to the Football Game. :wink:

Sen. Obama supported layoff warnings; now sees no need
(http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/aug/1/obama-favored-stronger-layoff-warnings-07/)
President Obama's administration (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/obamas-administration/) doesn’t see the need for defense contractors to warn employees about possible layoffs from across-the-board budget cuts, but in 2007, then-Sen. Barack Obama railed against employers for failing to notify workers who were in danger of losing their jobs.

“The least employers can do when they’re anticipating layoffs is to let workers know they’re going to be out of a job and a paycheck with enough time to plan for their future,” Mr. Obama said in a news release on July 17, 2007, while campaigning for president.

The Obama administration said Monday in guidance from the Labor Department (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/united-states-department-of-labor/) that federal contractors don’t need to warn their employees that they could lose their jobs because of the looming budget cuts that are slated to begin Jan. 2. The agency said it would be “inappropriate” for employers to send such warnings because the $110 billion in cuts are still speculative. Defense programs would be the target of about half of the cuts.



It's federal law that they be notified. What a hypocrite.

Law? Law? President Obama is King. He doesn't recognize any law.
