ObamaCare Is Forcing This North Carolina School District To Cut Teachers Hours

March 26, 2014

The Obamacare horror stories just keep on coming.

Just recently in North Carolina, Pitt County Schools has had to cut their teachers’ hours thanks to Obamacare.

Thanks to the law’s mandates, Pitt County has had to reduce many of the substitute teachers’ hours to 21 a week.

One such teacher, Jordan Banjo, told that “I need the money. I need to work. I’m willing and able to work, and now they’re telling me you can only work for so long.”

Obama’s economy is already burdened by sluggish growth and unacceptably high unemployment. Why do the Democrats continue to push their job-killing healthcare law?

From the Washington Free Beacon:

Two hundred North Carolina teachers are getting their hours cut due to Obamacare, WITN reports.

Under Obamacare employees who work 30 or more hours must be offered health insurance by their employer. The insurance is costly and drains employers of their funds.

Jordan Banjo, a substitute teacher from Pitt County, is worried that she will not be able to make ends meet due to her hours being cut. She works as a substitute teacher and at a coffee shop, but even this is not enough income for her to live on.

Until last month, she was working more than 30 hours a week. The district sent a notice to all substitute teachers informing them that their hours would be reduced to only three days a week- about 21 hours.
