All of the companies that hire a significant number of part-time workers should be heavily fined. They push a huge number of their business costs on taxpayers who end up feeding the workers, paying for their medical care and pensions. And that’s just ridiculous.

Papa John’s is the poster child for low pay and for cutting workers’ hours to avoid providing healthcare. However, pay at Starbucks isn’t good, and they’ve been cutting healthcare as well.

What about those businesses that hire part-time people primarily for their busy season? Sometimes those hours can fluctuate to full-time before dwindling back down, and the company might not bring in enough money to hire everybody full-time in a non-seasonal capacity (or even part-time in a non-seasonal capacity).

A busy season is fine. But there are too many companies that are going almost entirely part-time. And then all of us are subsidizing that.

First Student is a national company based in Ohio that provides school bus service. It advertises a fleet of 49,000 buses (presumably there is at least one driver per bus), and provides no benefits. The lack of benefits are how it underprices organic bus service that schools used to provide using unionized drivers. Just as consumers now pay a surcharge on income taxes if they don’t carry health insurance, companies like this should pay a steep surcharge for not providing benefits.
There is no benefit to taxpayers in allowing the owner of a corporation to buy another home in Cancun.
