That brings the number of companies receiving waivers to 1,372. (You can get a full list of the companies exempted here.) Not surprisingly, it helps to be a Democratic ally when seeking a waiver. The Republican Policy Committee reports that over half of the workers that have been exempted so far belong to unions: The plans newly approved for waivers cover more than 160,000 people, bringing to nearly 3.1 million the number of individuals in plans exempted from the health law’s requirements. Of the participants receiving waivers, more than half – over 1.55 million – are in union plans, raising questions of why such a disproportionate share of union members are receiving waivers from the law’s requirements. The percentage of participants receiving waivers that come from unions also continues to rise – the number was 48% in April, and 45% in March. Unions already received a generous concession in the health care bill. Their generous "cadilac" insurance plans were exempted from being taxed until 2018, adding about $120 billion to the bill’s cost over ten years. For more on how the administration has helped unions, see my story in THE WEEKLY STANDARD from a few weeks ago.

I remember my last supervisor telling me I would lose mine if I didn't take it, like there was any chance of getting one during a hiring freeze. I told her if anyone touched my time I would take the matter up with the sheriff's office. mininggold  posted on  2011-05-19   21:29:05 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #7.

Must be nice to work at a job where you can just take a vacation whenever you want.

The globalists are finding their cheap sources of labor running out with the rest of the third world too unstable to make it worth the investment.

Most of the time it got approved on the spot, but sometimes because of contingency requirements it was put off for a few weeks to a few months....

To: CZ82 (#14) (Edited) You had to fill out a leave form and have it approved before you could take leave.... We had to bid for vacation slots twice a year, with bids for only three time slots allowed. The winning bid was based on senority, if you didn't get one then too bad. Sometimes there was a 2nd round where you then could bid if any slots weren't taken, but those didn't occur very often. I had another job where I couldn't take leave unless I was able to find my own relief. mininggold  posted on  2011-05-20   21:29:59 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #16.

Thats what will be 'the' deciding issue. And its to late for Owe-bama or the Dems to do anything legislatively that will have a real effect that could overcome the damage already done in this area. Same mistake Carter made. Same reason Bush 41 was fired. Add to it Owe-bama's policy regarding Israel, supporting the terrorists, this week. Ten days ago Leftwingnuts were screaming 'Republicans can't challenge Owe- bama on international policy cause he got bin Laden!'. Today, as we can all see, if you are remotely objective, he threw that away...not that it was real to begin with.

If you need to have your meds checked, maybe she could get you an appointment. "As expected, Nevada lags the recovery, but the gap, at least measured by the unemployment rate, is beginning to narrow," Anderson said. The state's jobless rate peaked at 14.9 percent in December. Unemployment in the Las Vegas area was 12.1 percent in April. That's down 3 percentage points from the same month a year ago and 1.3 percentage points from March. The April jobless rate fell to 11.7 percent in the Reno and Carson City areas, down from 13.1 percent and 13.2 percent, respectively, in the previous month. Elko's jobless rate in April was 6.9 percent. www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9NBCC781.htm It is our responsibility to protect that child once that child’s born too. When we start debating a budget, let’s make sure we don’t cut 100,000 vaccines. Let’s make sure we’ve got health insurance. We seem to worship what we cannot see, but as soon as that baby’s born, oh no, we don’t want to be intrusive. Texas is going to shrink government until it fits inside a women’s uterus.
