No dig at all...my 53 yo father, a cousin and some friends are 2nd tier new hire's, and it pisses me off that they dont have the same oppertunities that I have at Ford... Both of you two are are company wanna be's...justaworker should probly change his name to "companyboy", because like you cal he surely isnt on the side of the working man...why would any union worker ever take a companys side and think that its okay to screw the worker out of benefits to offset cost of a changing business environment...? I bet you are one of the first people to bitch about it when it is something that directly affects you here at ford when they raise this or lower that, but as soon as PapaJohn screws his workforce and blames it on Obamacare you jump right on the bandwagon because he's not who you want in office...you two should apply for salary jobs

Well I worked outside of Ford in manufacturing for + 20 years before coming to Ford (tradesman) and no one forced me to work my former job or currently at Ford. If you do not like something try to change it or leave. You completely missed the point that outside costs (TAXES in this case) have a negative effect on business be it a pizza maker or Ford. 2nd tier wages you can thank the UAW because they are the ones that went along with it, as long as they pay union dues that is. If people voted to accept the language then blame those that voted for it. The union has little power when people would line up for miles outside the door wanting to work for those lower wages as apparently your relatives chose to do so.

Unlike you I do not view all salary employees as the enemy. We all do work for the same company and they have grunts that get mistreated as well. Some are good people and others are dickheads, no different than hourly people.

The Real Scoop on Papa John's and Obamacare

Reading what has been written about statements I made on the effect of the Affordable Care Act on our franchisees reminds me of a quote from Lewis H. Lapham, former editor of Harper's magazine: "People may expect too much of journalism. Not only do they expect it to be entertaining, they expect it to be true."

Many in the media reported that I said Papa John's is going to close stores and cut jobs because of Obamacare. I never said that. The fact is we are going to open over hundreds of stores this year and next and increase employment by over 5,000 jobs worldwide. And, we have no plans to cut team hours as a result of the Affordable Care Act.

Clearly there was some misunderstanding somewhere. The remarks that generated the headlines were made during an entrepreneur class I was asked to speak to at a Florida college. I was asked to share my experience as an entrepreneur and to provide the students with real-life small business situations. Unbeknownst to me, until she identified herself, a reporter was there.

Here is the part of the interchange that was the genesis of the news:

Reporter: "Do you think your -- you know -- franchise owners... are going to cut people hours back to make them part time instead of full time?"

Me: "Well, in Hawaii there is a form of the same kind of health insurance and that's what you do, you find loopholes to get around it. That's what they're going to do."

Reporter: "My understanding is that if you're a full time employee, which is 35 hours or over, you'd be covered. Or if you're part time then you wouldn't be. So wouldn't some business owners just cut people down like 34 hours a week so they wouldn't have to pay for health insurance?"

Me: "It's common sense. It's what I call lose-lose."

The reporter asked what I believed Papa John's franchisees would do in response to Obamacare, not what Papa John's would do. In fact, her question was "wouldn't some business owners just cut people down like 34 hours a week so they wouldn't have to pay for health insurance?"

My answer: "It's common sense."

Companies like Papa John's are largely a collection of small independent businesses. The average Papa John's franchisee owns three to four stores. Since our franchisees own the restaurants they operate, who they hire, how many hours they give each employee and what they pay each employee is up to them, not me or Papa John's. Like any small business in these economic times, our franchisees are under a tremendous amount of pressure on costs. .......
