Obama administration tries to block sequester layoff notices

Article here, with links.

Special bonus: government offers to help companies pay the fines and legal fees for breaking labor laws.

Ever notice how many of the laws and policies of the past four years have been carefully timed so that the shit doesn't hit the fan until after the 2012 election? The 60-day notice worker protection law kind of threw a wrench into this.

        Look, you're lost in the weeds and I don't have the patience for this. - TB - 9/30/2012 3:59:39 AM
        
        Filibusters that you can't win cloture on don't often get clotured (unless you want to make a point about who is blocking what). - alcaray - 9/30/2012 9:05:56 PM
        
        Sigh. - TB - 9/30/2012 9:36:51 PM
        
        Ah that's right. - alcaray - 9/30/2012 9:47:33 PM
      - He forgets. 42 Senators signed a pledge to block Obama's every move except tax cuts for the wealthy. - bowser - 9/29/2012 9:53:09 PM
        
        He doesn't forget. He pretends that things were otherwise. - alcaray - 9/29/2012 10:19:20 PM
        
        No. I know things are otherwise. There's a difference. - TB - 9/29/2012 11:04:31 PM
        
        Anything about it being a craven lie that "Obama owned the government for two years"? - alcaray - 9/29/2012 11:58:50 PM
- It is not certain that sequestration will happen. - alcaray - 9/29/2012 7:07:11 PM
