Your Guide to Racist Motherfucker Abuse of Employees

It's an epidemic, and a menace to the economic public good.

 

Rebecca Leber at Think Progress:

Not long after the owner of the Olive Garden and Red Lobster chains admitted their anti-Obamacare campaigns hurt more than helped, the owner of a Wendy’s franchise in Omaha, Nebraska plans to cut 300 employees’ hours to part-time to avoid providing them health care coverage. 

By moving workers to part-time status in order to avoid paying for their health benefits, the Wendy’s franchise would shift the costs of insurance coverage onto hundreds of employees:

Heaping blame on Obamacare may be a popular tactic among the fast food industry, but it is a misleading one. According to the Urban Institute, Obamacare has a negligible impact on business costs, leaving large companies virtually unaffected while actually reducing costs for small businesses.

That assumes the goal is reducing costs.  It's not. The goal is to fuck over employees while blaming that Ni**er in the White House. 

 

I'm sure you've seen this T-shirt

A Mexican restaurant in Columbia, South Carolina is being criticized for its racist T-shirts showing a wooden trap using tacos as bait with the caption “HOW TO CATCH AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT”.

As the Palmetto Public Record notes, a South Carolina reporter tweeted a photo yesterday of someone who appears to be a Taco Cid restaurant employee wearing the offensive shirt.
 ThinkProgress spoke with an employee at Taco Cid who confirmed that restaurant workers indeed wear the shirt. He also noted that patrons can purchase it as well.

Taco Cid, a one-star restaurant that has shuttered franchises in recent years, appears to have cribbed the design from the “Offensive Obscene & Sex Related Tees” section of an online apparel designer.

South Carolina’s senior senator, Lindsey Graham, is helping lead immigration reform efforts among Republicans, saying that the GOP shot itself “in the foot” this election with anti-immigrant rhetoric and positions..

Again, the goal is not to amuse patrons or promote a crackdown on illegal immigrants, who are probably a majority of the chain's employees.  The goal is to intimidate and abuse those employees.
